DESCRIPTION
The water outlet fitting gasket has been changed from a joint-sheet material (fiber) to a rubber-coated metal design. Because of this modification, the
new gasket has a top side and a bottom side. The top side is labeled with an "UP" mark. The bottom side is unlabeled. When installing the new gasket,
make sure the "UP" mark is facing the water outlet fitting side. If using the previous style fiber gasket, either side may be installed on top. Refer to
