I got you, I see it now.
I’m used to working with swimming pool equipment , they have double gaskets. And I see it’s female threadeds on the inside and not slip on the smooth face side.
My bad for trying to correct you, your on it.

Ok @STR8 you were actually right in a way and so was I:). Here is the real deal on which way these assemble vs. which way that they have to assemble (at least in a UC hydro system):
1. The manufacturers method is technically correct but they seem to hold a seal either way as long as the gasket is on the fixed flange side (whether out or in). Ideally the seal would be on the water side so pressure is compressing it as opposed to on the outside where water can push against the seal directly.
2. If they are assembled the way they are meant to as in an aquarium, the buckets will be hopelessly stuck together cause even if the nut is removed you cant pull the flange out of the hole. So moving and cleaning would be near impossible.
So, in the end the best way is the way you suggested as long as the gasket is on the flange and the ribs are facing the flange.
Thanks for making me think thru this or I would have had a big problem!
Remaining parts are due today so I am excited to get it into testing.

So if my control bucket is 20 or 25 gallons, cant remember, how big would it need to be like 40-50g? double? and seems like easiest way to connect to the float valve would be a simple garden hose, would that work?The top off res is just a larger res that has a hose going to a float valve in you master control bucket. Mount it higher so it willngravity feed your control bucket.
