To connect the Vacuum Filtration Station using the pinch-valve module:
1 Ensure that the vacuum source is turned off.
2 Connect the tubing from the vacuum control valve-and-gauge assembly (1) to the
open three-way connector tubing on the pinch-valve module assembly (2).
If you are installing the control valve-and-gauge assembly with the optional on/off
toggle switch, ensure that the toggle switch is in the on position (handle in line with
valve body), as the following figure shows.
Note: The remaining tubing from the three-way connector is pre-assembled: One
tube connects to the vent port, and the second tube connects through the valve
port.

the waste bottle (3).
4 Connect tubing between the second port of the waste bottle (3) and an in-line filter
(4).
