PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Boekel series of Pipet Dryer and Combination
Washer/Dryer are manufactured from top quality
stainless steel and are designed to provide
automatic washing and heat drying of glass pipets
up to 375mm long. The series consists of a Pipet
Dryer only unit and a Pipet Washer/Dryer unit that
combines both the washing and drying functions.

capability can be hooked directly to the lab faucet

capabilities are available in both 115 VAC and 230
VAC versions.

SETUP
AND
OPERATION
OF
PIPET
WASHER/DRYER (Model 137100 & 137100-2)
1. Place the unit on a level surface. A level
surface is required for the unit to operate and
drain properly. If a slanted drain board is used,
the unit must be built up on the low side so that
the unit sits level.
2. A 1/2" I.P.S. hose barb is supplied for
connecting the unit to a lab faucet with a user
supplied rubber hose. This hose barb may be
removed
for
alternate
forms
of
water
connection. NOTE: Some states require the
use of an approved vacuum breaker in the
water supply line. Please consult your local
plumbing codes.
3.
A 1” I.P.S. thread is provided on the drain port
to allow permanent connection of a drain line if
desired. Any such drain line must be capable
of handling the three gallons of water that are
instantly released during washing action. The
drain must not back up during water release.
