Attaching Vacuum Fittings for Vacuum Preparation
Six vacuum fittings, with knurled retaining nuts, ferrules, and O-rings, are included in the
accessories kit. Attach a fitting to the flexible tubing at any degas station that will be used for
vacuum or vacuum-backfill sample preparation. Press the flexible tubing completely over the
barbed nipple on the end of the fitting. Loosely attach the knurled retaining nut, ferrule, and O-
ring.
If your sample fluidizes easily and you are using a Flow Control Valve, install it at this
time using the instructions provided with the valve.
