Fusion dump valve - skin material in or out?

[Johanan]

I must I install the shoulder dump valve on a Whites Fusion Tech, but I do not understand the design. Where must the skin material go? There is like a circle of a thin film-like material. Is it supposed to go into the groove as a seal or should it stay out? Thanks!

More precisely, is it OK to cut the opening a bit larger? Any advice?

The thin ring of material on the skin goes behind the pad that the valve seals against on the inner dry layer.

Thank you, that makes sense! Problem solved!

Here a found a video somewhat related to the topic.

Here is a good resource. Although it is for the older style skins that attach at the chest with velcro, that is relatively the only difference compared to the newer rapid zip skin attachment system:
