Assembly:
Step One:
Align Slide internal track with outside edges of Upper Frame. With finger tab facing up, fit Slide on to
Upper Frame, indexing the dimple on slide with dimple hole on Upper Frame.
Caution: Locating dimple to dimple hole is critical to proper function of slide.
Step Two:
Once Slide is fitted to Upper Frame, insert shoulder screw into threaded hole on Upper Frame and tighten
to finger tight.
Step Three:
Align assembled Upper Frame slots with top two holes on Lower Frame. Insert Hex Bolt(s) through slots
and bottom hole on Lower Frame, aligning with holes in T-Slot Plate.
Step Four:
Thread Hex Bolts into corresponding threaded holes on T-Slot Plate. Slide T-Slot Plate into track on
TopTier™ frame. Once in desired location, tighten bottom Hex Bolt to finger tight.
Tip: Thread Hex Bolts into T-Slot Plate only enough to retain T-Slot Plate. A looser fit between Upper
Frame, Lower Frame, and T-Slot Plate will allow for easier assembly with TopTier™ Frame.
Tip: Locating HopRocket™ at lowest point of brewing system fluid cycle decreases possibility of trapped
air remaining in liquid line.
Step Five:
Insert HopRocket™ into mount. Index the Upper Frame height to fit HopRocket™. Tighten top two Hex
Bolts to finger tight.
Tip: Follow Operation Step 1 to insert HopRocket™ into HopRocket™ Mount.
Warning:Failure to index Upper Mount height to HopRocket™ may result in improper fit when
HopRocket™ is installed.
Step Six:
Remove HopRocket™ and tighten all Hex Bolts using Crescent Wrench.
Warning: Always follow manufacturer instructions and safety precautions when using hand and power
tools

Operation:
Getting Started
The HopRocket™ Mount is designed to be mounted to the Blichmann Engineering™ TopTier™ Modular Brewing
Stand. Although the HopRocket™ mount may be compatible with other commercially available or homemade
brewing systems, the TopTier™ Modular Brewing Stand provides the most modular, reliable, and well engineered
platform for the HopRocket™ Mount to be installed.
Caution: HopRocket™ and RIMS-Rocket™ are part of inline brewing system that cycle boiling liquid. CONTENTS ARE
LIKELY HOT. Use caution when handling. Before mounting the HopRocket™ in the HopRocket™ Mount, verify that
all HopRocket™ fittings are properly connected and free of leaks.
Mounting the HopRocket™
First capture the lower lip of the band clamp
with the retaining hooks at the base of the
Lower Frame as shown in Figure 2.
Tip: When mounting RIMS-Rocket™ align Plug
guard parallel to retaining hooks to allow proper
fit.
Once the base of the HopRocket™ is retained,
locate the top outlet of the HopRocket™ into the
slot on the Upper Frame as shown in Figure 3.
Close the slide until the dimple on the slide fits
into the corresponding dimple hole on the
Upper Frame as shown in Figure 4.
