After positioning the components, it is necessary to join the system together using
the hoses provided. Attach one hose to the tube that extends out the back of the
Concentrator. Attach the other end of this hose to one of the barb fittings on the
Cold Trap Cover Assembly. Secure the hoses with the clamps supplied. Attach
another hose to the remaining barb fitting on the Cold Trap Cover and clamp
securely. If the accessory Secondary Trap is not used, attach the other end of the
hose to the inlet port on the vacuum pump. If the accessory Secondary Trap is
used, install the Secondary Trap as explained in Chapter 6: Accessories for Your
CentriVap. Then attach the hose from the Cold Trap Cover to the “out” connector
on the Secondary Trap and clamp securely. Attach another hose from the
remaining connector on the Secondary Trap to the inlet port on the vacuum pump
and clamp securely.
WARNING: It is recommended that the vacuum pump be located inside a
fume hood or other laboratory ventilation device if hazardous solvents are
used in the CentriVap. If this is not possible, the vacuum pump should have a
hose attached to the exhaust port and the other end of the hose should be
positioned inside the fume hood or ventilation device.
