ACCESSORIES
Control Cat. No. 3280 Tight-Seal
™ Hose/Tubing Clamp Assortment
includes 5 each of 13 different sizes. Clamps have an inside diameter of 0.246 to
1.610 inches. Clamps securely fasten tubing on connectors, pumps, glassware, and
filtration units. Chemical-corrosion-resistant, rustproof, and nonconducting nylon is
ideal for use in wide-temperature range of 32 to 194°F.
Control Cat. No. 3285 Tight-Ties ™ , Cable Ties Assortment includes
400 ties with lengths from 4 to 14 inches. One-piece, self-locking ties are made of
chemical-corrosion-resistant, rustproof, and nonconducting nylon, ideal for use in
wide-temperature range of -40 to 185°F.
Control Cat. No. 3367 European Power Supply 220 volts, 50 hertz
(Powers Pumps I, II, or III).
WARRANTY, SERVICE OF RECALIBRATION
For warranty, service, or recalibration contact:
Slightly shorter tubing reduces the diameter by stretching the tubing and reducing
the flow. The flow rate can be reduced slightly by cutting the tubing slightly shorter
than indicated by the chart.
NOTE: The lengths given are for silicone tubing only, other tubing may require
slightly shorter or longer lengths. The flow rates listed are for silicone tubing supplied
with Mini-Pump.
For best results—
• Select a tubing size with a mid-range for the expected flow rate.
• To extend tubing life, select a tubing size with the largest diameter possible for
the desired output and operate the pump at lower speeds (without stalling the
pump). If too large a diameter tubing is selected, and pump is set at too slow a
speed, the pump motor may stall or stop.
TUBING ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Release the protective, transparent cover by depressing the tab on the plastic
retaining clip located at bottom of the cover. The hinged cover can then be raised
to gain access to pump head and tubing assembly.
2. The tubing assembly is held in place by a slotted tube-lock at each end which is
fastened securely by friction fit in a metal U-shaped retaining bracket.
3. Grasp the tube-lock (white round slotted part) on each side of the retaining
bracket, and remove it by lifting upward.
4. Remove the other tube-lock in the same manner.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION (TUBING ONLY)
1. After removing the tubing assembly, slide the slotted tube-lock on each end away
from the barbed fittings. Remove the barbed fittings and tube-locks from the
tubing, discarding the tubing.
2. Prepare a new length of tubing for installation by sliding a tube-lock over the end
of the tubing. Insert a fitting on the end of the tubing. Make certain to slide the
tubing over the barbed portion of the fitting. Repeat this procedure for the other
end of the tubing. The tubing assembly is now ready for installation.
TUBING ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
The
1 /
4
-inch (6.4mm) tubing assemblies have tube-locks that consist of nylon
washers—they are not slotted. All other tubing assemblies have tube-locks that are
slotted.
Slotted Tube-Lock Fittings
1. Press one slotted tube-lock into the metal U-bracket.
2. Feed the tubing around the pump head (stretching the tubing slightly to ensure a
good wraparound fit).
3. Press the second tube-lock into the other metal U-bracket.
Washer Tube-Lock Fittings
1. Slip one end of the tubing assembly into the U-bracket with the washer to the
right of the bracket.
2. Feed the tubing around the pump head (stretching the tubing slightly to ensure a
good wraparound fit).
3. Slip the second end of the tubing assembly into the other U-bracket with the
washer to the right of the bracket.
TUBING
This specially formulated pump tubing is made from FDA-approved ingredients. The
unique manufacturing process achieves a tubing flexibility greater than other tubing.
It is ultratranslucent so that the flow of the liquid can be observed. It is nontoxic,
odorless, and tasteless. It may be used to transfer ultrapure deionized/distilled water
with zero contamination. It is biocompatible, resilient, stretchable, and resistant to
compression set. Its high “weatherability” properties resist ultraviolet light, ozone,
and gases. May be used in the lab and outdoors. It may be autoclaved. Designed for
pumping very hot and very cold liquids, -80 to 500°F (-62 to 260°C).
