Default Tick remote bleeder - washer question

Hi, I am getting ready to my clutch in tomorrow. I saw that the tick remote bleeder has a washer....

Does this washer go on the slave side or the bleeder side? I am fairly certain it goes on the slave side because it seems the bleeder side won't even tighten against the washer (it stays loose). Just want to confirm because having to tear it all down again for a dumb leak would SUCK.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it goes to the slave side. Call tick or the place you bought it from to confirm.

Make sure you get that line on there nice and tight...

Yes, it only goes on one way...the slave side. I also put some permatex thread sealant on it just to be sure of no leaks.

A bit late, but for future reference: the copper washer seals the connection between the slave and the fitting on our Remote SPEEDbleeder Line.
