Waste Connections Overview
WARNING—Escape of Hazardous Substances
Hazardous substances can escape from waste lines and waste containers
if connections and waste containers are not properly installed. Exposure
to these substances can pose health and safety risks.
Verify the correct installation of connections and containers by testing
the drain system (see
Testing the Drain System ( } page 74) ).
If leakage has occurred in the system, the liquid is directed to waste
through the system drain port on the Vanquish system base. Waste from
the detector can also be routed through the system base.
