    They can be tricky. All piping has to be close to dead on perfect to give you the least amount of trouble. The instructions can be a little washy, too. I've had the best luck with loose fitting the gauge glass valves, and LWCO body. Cutting the equalizer. Socking the gauge glass close to finished (measure the distant off the boiler to have a straight glass), leaving enough swing space to get the equalizer tubing in place, then lining it all up with two wrenches at the same time.



    That probably sounds more confusing than the instructions that came with it!
