Elbow mating

Hi Tobin,

In another thread regarding the interchangeability of different manufacture's elbow fittings came up. In that thread you posted:

We do *NOT* use weld on fittings.

...which brings my next question about how the DSS elbow is sealed to the bladder. Some manufactures use a flange and gasket on the inside and outside, some bond the inner flange with an adhesive. How do you do it?

Thank you,

Couv

We use a three piece fitting at both the OPV and fill hose. This "through hull" fitting can accept either the internally threaded OPV "cage" or the nut that secures the elbow.
