I had the same problem. I got a 90 degree fitting, along with nylon braided line and it worked fine. No smoking

You can turn the center housing. Just have to pay attention that you don't orient it in such a way that will prevent installation of the feed/drain flanges or tightening of the comp. cover.

Just have to loosen the exhaust housing and you should be able to turn it with a few taps.
