. All parts should be inspected 
for damage before using. Clamping studs must be welded 
around the bushing hole to accommodate either a 3-hole or 
4-hole clamp. Install the gasket over the bushing assembly 
through the tank hole and place the clamp* over the weld-
ed tank studs against the bushing flange. Install a plated 
lock-washer and nut onto each stud and tighten to recom-
mended torque. The Tri-Clamp well should have a plated 
flatwasher, lock washer and nut. Tighten to recommended 
torque. Connect internal lead to the internal bushing stud 
using recommended torque and procedures. See Figure 5.
*One-piece molded (Tri-Clamp) bushing well does not require a 
clamp.
