3. Route the degasser vent tubing to a fume hood or other suitable exhaust
system, or to a suitable waste container.
Warning:
To avoid releasing solvent vapors into the room, route
the degasser’s vent tubing to a fume hood or other suitable
exhaust system, or to a suitable waste container, ensuring the
tubing's discharge end is at all times above the fluid level.
Warning:
To avoid spills and the subsequent release of solvent
vapors, empty the waste container at regular intervals.
Caution:
To avoid fluid backup, you must ensure proper drainage
of waste:
• Place the waste container below the system stack.
• Ensure that the waste and degasser vent tubes are not crimped
or bent. A crimp or bend can impede flow to the waste
container.
• Ensure the exit of the waste and degasser vent tubes is not
immersed in waste solvent. If necessary, shorten each tube so
that no portion of it drops below the top of the waste container
(see next figure).
