Rear Panel Connections

VacPrep 061

Feb 2013

Rear Panel Connections

1. Insert one end of the power cord into the input power connector at the rear of the degasser 

and the other end into the appropriate power source.

2. Attach an appropriate regulator to the gas bottle. Leave the gas bottle shut-off valve closed 

until instructed otherwise. 

3. If the regulator has a -in. outlet, proceed to Step 4. If the regulator has a -in. outlet, attach 

the reducer fitting to the outlet of the regulator shut-off valve. 

4. Tighten the regulator shut-off valve nut. 

5. Attach the copper tubing to the brass reducer fitting. 

When the VacPrep leaves the factory, stabilizing tubes are placed in heating stations 1 
and 6 to prevent the heater block from shifting during shipment. Be sure to remove 
these tubes before turning on the VacPrep.

Do not overtighten the fittings. Doing so can collapse the brass ferrule and cause a 
leak.
