5. VACUUM PORT: Located on the left side of the top of the chamber,
this is an outlet to the vacuum pump (not supplied). Connect 1/4-inch
ID tubing between this port and your vacuum pump; adjust the pet
cock to control the vacuum draw.
6. VACUUM GAUGE: A large-dial indicator located between the two
topside ports, this gauge is scaled down from 0 to 30-inches of
mercury. It indicates the level of vacuum in the chamber.
7. VACUUM RELEASE PORT: Located on the right side of the top of
the chamber, this is an inlet that allows air into the chamber through
the vacuum release valve, a pet cock near the port. Also used as a purge
inlet (connect 1/4-inch ID tubing from the inert gas source to purge
the chamber).
