Step 9Install the rubber washer and nut.
While holding onto the fitting, put on the rubber washer, then thread the nut onto the fitting. Spin it down and then tighten it with a wrench.
REMEMBER: this is tough nylon, but can be stripped. Use reasonable force. You just want the rubber washer to seat fully around the curved barrel surface. Any more pressure than that is asking for trouble.
NOTE: Barry at Aquabarrel notes that the washer should be inside the barrel, not outside. He will be updating the instructions at their website, and I will update the pictures when I take down the barrel for the winter.
THIS MEANS YOU NEED TO PUT ON THE WASHER IN STEP 7!
