Default Thermostat install
Pretty basic question: Does the thermostat get installed into the groove in the housing first and then the gasket or vise versa?

Thermostat goes in the groove and then the gasket lays on top of the assembly. Make sure the copper pellet side of the thermostat is on the bottom..
