Installation

4. Make sure the holes between the PEEK sleeve and the torch cassette body line

up when fully inserted. The holes must line up and be empty, and the PEEK

sleeve should not be visible. You can use a small flashlight to determine that

the holes are visible once the color is pushed in all the way.

PEEK Sleeve Inserted in the Torch Cassette Body

5. Make sure that the PEEK sleeve is sitting lower in the torch body.This will

allow room for the additional pieces to be installed (see the following figure).

6. Install the remaining pieces on the PEEK sleeve (spacer): o-ring, PTFE

washer, knurled nut, and torch glassware. Fully seat the torch glassware and

align the etched rectangle with the alignment mark on the torch cassette body.
