Step 2
The hose connectors should now be sealed with the red Rodaviss sealing caps (supplied with the quick-
release insulated hoses), or attached to the hose tidies (see Section 6.4.10 below) to prevent dripping of
any thermofluid residues.
❖ Due to the nature of the glass vessel design, it is likely that some residual thermofluid will remain
at the bottom of the jacket, below the level of the lower sidearm. This can be removed once the
vessel has been removed from the clamp.
Reactor-Ready is supplied with two hose tidies
which attach to the side support rods of the
framework, and allow the quick-release insulated
hoses to be conveniently sealed and secured when
not in use, preventing them interfering with further
work. The hose tidies can be conveniently added or
removed from the framework at any time without
disturbing the rest of the system.
Step 1
To attach the hose tidies to the framework, place
the bracketed end of each hose tidy around the
side support rod and hand-tighten the locking knob
to secure.
Note: The two hose tidies should be added to the
same support rod as the lower supply and upper
return manifolds.
→ To minimise the risk of thermofluid leakage from the hose whilst using the hose tidy, each hose
tidy should be positioned above its corresponding manifold.
