Item
Component
Description
1
Source
bottle
Supplies the fill liquid for an autofilling wash station,
such as the Tip Wash Station or 8- Channel Wash Station.
2
Waste
bottle
Collects the waste liquid that is pumped from the
reservoir.
3
Tube B
The 8- mm (5/16- in) Marprene tubing. Use tube B (larger
diameter tubing) for the lengths of tubing in the pump
heads and for the gravity drain on an Auto Filling
Reservoir.
4
Tube A
The 6.4- mm (4/16- in) Marprene tubing. Use tube A
(smaller diameter tubing) for the input and output tubing
connections to the reservoir and the source and waste
bottles.
5
Connector,
union
Joins tube A to tube B. Over time, the tubing in the
pump heads deteriorates and requires replacement. By
placing a union connector on either side of the pump
head, you can minimize the length of tubing that requires
replacement.
6
Quick-
disconnect
fitting
Enables easy removal of an autofilling reservoir. The
quick- disconnect fittings include an automatic- close valve.
Fluid can flow only if a positive connection is made.
7
Inline
pump
filter
Removes the particulates that can clog the chimneys in
the Tip Wash Station or channels in the 8- Channel Wash
Station.
As the pump operates, the inside of the tubing sheds
particulates that must be filtered downstream to prevent
the chimneys from clogging.
