Assembly steps

I-Modify your mold

  1- Place the spacer inside your mold's ½ inch connector, it should fit inside snugly and fill the most of the empty space.

  2- Screw the male brass connector on top of it

  3- Drill with the 10 mm drill trough all the parts to enlarge the hole diameter up to 10 mm.

  Be careful to drill right in the center, otherwise you can damage the threads.

You'll have to repeat those steps for each one of your molds (once the mold have been used, it is inconvenient to remove the male connector and spacer inside, it is easier to fit all your molds with male connectors)

II- Assemble your plug:

  - Simply take the second male connector and screw it to the end cap --> Here's your new plug :) (Picture n°1)

III- Modify your injection machine

  -Unscrew the current threaded nozzle of your machine and replace it with the brass female connector!
