You are not alone as the guys in the US seem to be constantly getting the same non-response as you when they email queries.

Mine was fitted by VWR and it was pointed out that where the pipes go into the head you can put your fingers in and make them touch so I don't see what difference it would make which way round the pipes were?  :confused:

afaik this reversal of hose routing is simply a preventative measure for when the can contents freezes in the harsh North American winters. The can should perform its job with either hose configuration.

IMO these points got to show that one of the pipes is acting as a breather to allow the flow of liquid, which otherwise would not flow unless pressurised.

Managed to get a reply from Phil at last:

Hi Kristian, on the new can its best to run the right fitting to the side port. There are no ramifications of running it the opposite way, it just works better the other way.

Well done, Kristian! :drinking:

I'm assuming that we've all got what Phil calls the 'new' can.

Well, I now conclude that my 'wrongly' routed hoses are now 'correctly' routed without anyone changing them.

However, in spite of the tap being very tight it still spews oily gunk. I'm changing my catch tank anyway to one which has a sight feature. I'm sorry, I wish I could say otherwise but to be honest I'm not greatly impressed by BSH - Just my personal opinion :smiley:

Robin,

The tap at the bottom - Have you wound it all the way in up against the base of the can?  If so it is wide open.  The tap needs to be fully out to be shut, Bear in mind it is a left hand thread too.  

All the way to the bottom is correct, ie fully out.  I have had no probs with mine at all.
