3.
Ensure that sufficient clearance exists between the fitting at the drip tray's outlet and the
laboratory benchtop, to allow connection of the drain tubing.
4.
Push one end of the tubing over the drip tray's barbed fitting.
5.
Cut the opposite end of the tubing to length, and connect it to the waste container.
Warning:
To avoid a hazardous condition resulting from leakage or spilling of
waste fluid, ensure that the drain tube is properly routed so that it is not crimped
or bent. A crimp or bend can prevent adequate flow to the waste container.
Warning:
To avoid spills, empty the waste container at regular intervals.
Notice:
To avoid fluid backup, ensure proper drainage of waste:
• Place the waste container below the system stack to permit gravity flow.
• Ensure that the exit of the waste tube is not immersed in waste solvent.
• If necessary, shorten the tube so that no portion of it drops below the top of
the waste container.
6.
Route the tubing, taking care to ensure that liquid can drain freely down the drain tube to
waste.
