6ak5 triode strapped but how?

Hi ppl just a possibly stupid question. In the link below it states in the triode curves that grid 2 and grid 3 should be connected to the plate but it's shown unless I am mistaken. Grid 3 is internally conected to the cathode.

I want to try this in place of 6gk5 in my preamp so I can use 2 batterys in the cathode and get some more headroom for the input and a better operating point .That and I have lots of new 6ak5's Of course I could just strap only the grid 2 to plate but why curves for the other conection.I think I can nail the 120v plate 10ma op point discussed in the archives here so it could be good.
