4.5 Flask clamp installation
Flask clamps purchased for use with the platform require installation. Clamps are installed by securing the
base of the clamp to the platform with the correct type and number of screws. All clamps are shipped
complete with hardware.
Clamps for 2.8 L and 2 L flasks are shipped with an additional girdle to keep the flasks in place. The girdle
is an assembly of springs and sections of rubber tubing. One girdle is already in place on the clamp, the
other is packed separately.
To install these double girdle clamps:
1. Place the clamp on the platform, aligning its mounting holes with holes on the platform.
2. Secure the clamp in place using the flat Phillips head screws provided (#S2116-3051, 10-24 x 5/16 in).
3. The first girdle is delivered in place. Insert an empty flask into the clamp.
4. Make sure the sections of tubing are located between the clamp legs, and roll the first girdle down the
legs of the clamp as far as it can go.
The tubing sections will rest against the platform. The springs will be under the clamp base.
5. Place the second girdle around the upper portion of clamp body.
6. Make sure that the spring sections of the second girdle rest against the clamp legs, and that the rubber
sections sit against the flask (in between the clamp legs (see Fig. 4-3 on p. 16)).

The Excella E-24 platform requires 10-24 × 5/16 in Phillips-head screws (which are supplied)
to fasten flask clamps.
3 different types of screws are shipped with the clamps. To identify the proper screws (see
Fig. 4-2 on p. 15).
One-liter and larger flask clamps are fastened with 5 screws.
