Step 3Assembly
THE TUBE
Insert the nozzle into the latex tube and zip tie it in place i used two ties but I'm sure you could scrape by with just one.
insert the other nylon insert and zip tie it into place as shown.
add one more zip tie on the latex tube near the front (when the tube is in the chamber this will keep the water from going far enough forward to open up your release on accident) placing isn't too crucial but make sure it doesn't pinch too much and that it's behind the hole we drilled all the way through.
Tube is now done!
The butt cap and water insertion assembly
okay so if you're smarter than me you can skip the orange elect. tape but if not go ahead and wrap enough around the threaded fitting to keep it from slipping through the hole in the butt cap. insert it into the butt cap and screw on the ball valve nice 'n tight the water's real low pressure so no need for fancy glue or anything here . . .(plus if your tube bursts or something like that you can take the thing apart and replace it) now screw the hose adapter onto the ball valve and last, if you bought one, the quick release to the adapter.
Take some strong string or shoelace or something and tie it to the nozzle end of your tube. Insert this into the pipe (in the end farthest from the hole that goes all the way through and out the other end) now as you pull it through press the end cap onto the pipe but not so firmly that you can't get the thing back off in case of tube replacement. Pull the string and stretch the latex tube so it comes out the other side with a fair amount of slack. whilst holding the latex, untie the string and then fold the latex tube over the edge of the pipe and wrap the string around it to keep it in place. *POP* the nozzle into the front cap and untie the latex from the side.
Careful here, the latex has a tendency to snap back and you could pinch your fingers. if you didn't shave off too much, everything will hold and you can push the front cap on; again not too tight.
THE NOS CAP RELEASE SYSTEM
thread the 2 bolts through the nos cap(inner one) and one of the pieces of wood. glue the outer cap to the inner cap and then thread the 2 bolts through the top(the side with the slot) big hole on either side of the tube and out the other hole. put the other piece of wood onto the bolts and screw the nuts onto the ends of the bolts nice 'n tight(we want a fair amount of friction here to keep the thing from untwisting.(see firing the humidifier)
This concludes the assembly of The Humidifier.
