    Ah, I understand. Thanks.

    My valve came without these spacers which are shown in the howto

    Is there something missing?

    I'll have to check the other valves I have as they are shipped as received.
    Will get back to you as soon as I know.

    Looking at Post #15 in this link Marcus, it looks like the spacers aren't always needed. I haven't done this upgrade myself so I can't comment accurately but I am sure someone will be along to advise with more accurate information soon.

    Didn't use the spacer on mine. Plenty of space for the pipework and bolting the backplate straight to the bulkhead makes for a more secure fit. Have a look at this:-
