Vent Solenoid Assembly | |
Solenoid used for the vent valve assembly. (Solenoids may vary depending on availability.) |
Remove the plunger shaft. |
Remove the plastic clevis and mounting bracket. |
Drill a hole in the center of the shaft for a piece of brass wire. |
Solder the brass wire into the shaft. |
Shaft is inserted back into the solenoid. |
Trim rubber boot as shown to fit onto the solenoid. |
Fit rubber boot onto solenoid and silicone in place. Check solenoid operation by connecting to battery. Solenoid should retract about 1/8” to 3/16". When completed, coat the solenoid with silicone sealer. Use 2 .light coats rather than 1 heavy coat. Remember to cover the entire solenoid and base of the wires, as this is the waterproofing which keeps the solenoid from shorting out. |
