Assembled Cell (See Table 1 for Labels)
The ParaCell includes a number of ACE-Thred ™ connectors used for a wide variety of functions. #7 ACE-
Thred ™ connectors are particularly common. ACE-Thred ™ fittings are designed to seal cylindrical objects into
the cell. These objects can include glass tubes, plugs, thermometers, and bodies of plastic electrodes. ACE-
Thred
fittings™ are designed to be tightened with finger-pressure only.
A given ACE-Thred ™ size can only accommodate specific diameter objects. A #7 ACE-Thred ™ is specified to
work with objects with a diameter between 6.5 mm and 7.5 mm. If you need to add non-standard options to
your ParaCell kit, make sure you keep this restriction in mind.

Caution:
ACE- Thred™ fittings should always be tightened “finger - tight”. Never use tools
such as a wrench or pliers to tighten an ACE-Thred ™ fitting. Over-tightening a fitting can break the cell.
