Install supplied silver-coated stainless steel bolts in the bolt holes of the flanges
and finger-tighten only.
NOTE:
If the factory-supplied silver-coated stainless steel hardware is not used
and the flanges are going to be baked, coat the bolt threads with an
anti-seize compound (FelPro
®
C 100 or equivalent).
CAUTION
Do not get any of the anti-seize compound on the gaskets
or the vacuum parts of the flange.

After the bolts have been finger-tightened and the flange faces are parallel,
tighten the bolts gradually and evenly in a star pattern until the flange faces are
brought into even contact with each other.
1.16.1.2 Attaching the Sensor to the Vacuum Chamber
The sensor may be mounted in any position when attaching it to the vacuum vessel
or chamber.
CAUTION
Avoid mounting the sensor near any magnetic fields
greater than two gauss.
It is important that the connection between the sensor
and the vacuum chamber does not interfere with gas
exchange to ensure that the gas composition accurately
reflects that existing in the vacuum chamber.
If materials are evaporated or coatings are deposited in
the vacuum chamber, you must protect the sensor
against the deposition of these materials on its surfaces
by installing a baffle or deflector.
In systems which are baked, include the sensor in the
bakeout zone or provide it with separate heaters.
