Making the Bailer's Valve

The following links have two full-size pictures showing how to make a bailer valve.  Each picture must be printed by itself on a single piece of paper and then laid side-by-side.  You'll need to set up your system to print these pages if you haven't already done so to print this manual.  

Step One: Prepare your printer

First, turn off page headers and footers and set the margins to the widest possible settings.

• In Microsoft's Internet Explorer, choose File|Page Setup... 
• Delete any text or codes in the "Header" and "Footer" fields. 
• Set your margins (top, bottom, left and right) to .5"  (You may be able to set even smaller margins, it really depends upon your printer's capabilities.  Only experimentation will tell...)

Second, set the page to print in a landscape (sideways) orientation...

• In Microsoft's Internet Explorer, choose File|Page Setup...
• Under the "Orientation" menu, choose "Landscape"

Step Two: Fetch and print

• Press the links below to display the pictures on your screen. 
• Use your browser's File|Print menu to print the picture. 
• After printing, press your browser's Back button to return to this page.
