3.4 Remote Sampling Probe or Tygon Tubing
An optional 6-foot Teflon remote sampling probe with a
telescoping handle or a 15-foot Tygon tubing are handy
accessories for users to probe areas which are difficult to
reach, such as ceilings, storage tanks, underground man-
holes, etc. Connect the male Luer connector at the end of
the remote sampling probe or the Tygon tubing to the female
Luer connector on the water trap filter. The remote
sampling probe or the Tygon tubing is ready for operation.
Teflon remote sampling tubing should be used for reactive
gases such as Cl
2
, PH
3
, NH
3
, HCN, and for semi-volatile
organic compounds like gasoline and jet fuels. A few feet of
Tygon tubing can completely absorb a kerosene-type fuel.
Tygon can be used for the common confined space entry
gases including CO, H
2
S, and CH
