A fastening screw is used to fasten it in the 10 mm vessel top plate
port (see the “Clamping Adaptors and Fastening Screws” section).

Must be fitted with an O-ring before being mounted in the

5.5 Clamping Adapters and Fastening Screws
Clamping adapters are used when mounting the sparger, the vari-
ous dip tubes and the antifoam/level sensors. The clamping
adapter fixes the component in place and can be used to adjust its
mounting depth.
The clamping adapter must match the outside diameter of the part
being installed and the size of the port in the vessel top plate.
