Guidelines for Refrigerant Lines
• Improper connection of the couplings is a common source of leaks. Internal leaks can damage
the equipment.
• Use a new O-ring or gasket each time the coupling is assembled.
• Do not use grease when assembling the couplings. Grease can contaminate the cryopump and
can mask a leak during the leak-checking procedures. Additionally, the coupling will leak when
the grease gets brittle at cryogenic temperatures.
• Do not scratch or dent the sealing surfaces of the couplings.
• Always use the O-ring removal tool to remove an O-ring from the Parker UltraSeal compatible
couplings. See Appendix G: Zero Line Loss Procedure on page 12-13.
