Field Bottle Cap Gasket

Field Bottle Instructions

For a complete M/36 field bottle, you need

• M/36 field bottle
• Field bottle cap
• Field bottle cap gasket
• Field bottle cap bolt set
• 1936 pattern field bottle cover or 1940 pattern field bottle cover
• 1936 pattern field bottle cover strap or 1940 pattern field bottle cover strap

If you are having troubles pulling the cover onto your bottle: soak the cover in lukewarm water (not hot) until it’s soaked throughout. Then, pull the cover on the bottle and lace it up. Let the cover dry in room temperature.

How to correctly use the field bottle cap bolt set

• Put the field bottle cap gasket inside the cap
• Push the bolt through the holes on the gasket and cap from the inside of the cap
• Tighten the bolt to the cap with one nut
• Put the bolt through the rivet hole of the field bottle cover strap
• Screw the second nut on to the bolt
• Screw the end cap to the bolt as far as it goes
• Tighten the second nut back towards the end cap to hold it still
• The field bottle cover strap should be free to rotate around the bolt
