6.1 Setting up Reactor-Ready
6.1.1 Requirements
• Access to two mains power sockets – one for the thermoregulator and one for the overhead stirrer.
• Access to additional mains power sockets if pumps or vacuum pumps are required.
• A clear unobstructed site on a level surface within your fumehood.
• Cooling water supply for the reflux condenser.
• Inert gas and vacuum supply for operating under an inert atmosphere.
• An adjustable wrench for tightening the quick-release insulated hoses and thermofluid hoses.

6.1.2 Assembling the framework
Important information
→ Before you begin assembly, ensure that the framework is placed in its final position, as once fully
assembled the unit should not be moved.
→ Make sure there is room for connections to the thermoregulator, and that all thermofluid hoses
can be positioned and supported safely.
Step 1
Position the aluminium base on a flat work
surface within your fumehood, ensuring that it is
level and stable.
All five of the adjustable feet should be in contact
with the work surface.
If necessary, you can adjust the height of each
individual foot by screwing it in or out.
Locate the drip tray into the base.
