– Injuries in the form of cuts can be caused by damaged sample flasks and
glass splitters.
• Replace damaged sample flasks
• Do not touch glass splitters with your hands.
The O-rings are only replaced when they no longer adequately seal, due to severe damage or
aging. When removing the old O-rings, be sure that the sealing area of the fittings is not
damaged. Grooves where the old O-rings are installed must be cleaned to be completely free of
grease.
New O-rings should under no circumstances be greased before installing but only after
installation. Otherwise, the O-rings would turn with the glass tubes when trying to remove them
at a later stage.
It is recommended not to grease the upper O-ring of the moisture trap.
