Things that get ignored

[Let'sgoflying!]

Yes, in old school drafting, which that drawing is, a dashed line indicates that something is on the opposite side (backside) of the solid object.

Thanks Tim.
So mine was done wrong?

No, that looks right to me if I'm seeing things properly.

It's going lower right to upper left, in front.

The drawing was going lower left to upper right, in back.

Same-same.

Edit: I sitting at a microbrew (Bryan's been here)...and I do my best thinking with a cold beer in my hand...and...yes...they're both backasswards unless they have left-hand threads.

Looks backwards to me. Easy to fix.

The tube that caused the AD has nothing to do with draining the bowl or causing corrosion in the bowl. The only way anyone would have ever known this tube had an issue is if they found it had fallen out or was too short to pass through the lower hole in the screen. It is pretty obvious they assume the tube was cut to correct length and are asking you to verify it was pressed into the top correctly.

Poor drawing. Just have to remember, for the most part "Righty-Tighty, Lefty-Loosey".

I thought there were some left hand threads in there somewhere. It’s been a while though... mostly wrenching on turbine stuff lately.

You'll notice the safety wire in that diagram terminates at the bowl, it really doesn't.
