Hose ConnectionsHose Connections
The pump connections are located at the rear of the pump box and are
labelled PUMP INLET and PUMP OUTLET. These connections are bent
upward so the recirculating fluid will drain back into the reservoir when the
hoses are disconnected. The connections are capped with stainless steel
serrated plugs.
The pump lines have ¼" MPT for mating with standard plumbing fittings. For
your convenience two stainless steel adapters, ¼" FPT to 3/8" O.D. serrated
fitting, are provided. (To assure proper fit, they should be installed using 1½
turns of Teflon® tape around the threads.)
Flexible tubing, if used, should be of heavy wall or reinforced construction.
Make sure all tubing connections are securely clamped. Avoid running
tubing near radiators, hot water pipes, etc. If substantial lengths of tubing
are necessary, insulation may be required to prevent loss of cooling capacity.
Tubing and insulation are available from Thermo NESLAB. Contact our Sales
Department for more information (see Preface, After-sale Support).
It is important to keep the distance between the unit and the external system
as short as possible, and to use the largest diameter tubing practical. Tubing
should be straight and without bends. If diameter reductions must be made,
make them at the inlet and outlet of the external system, not at the unit.
If substantial lengths of cooling lines are required, they should be pre-filled
with bath fluid before connecting them to the unit. This will ensure that a
adequate amount of fluid will be in the bath once it is in operation.
PumpingPumping
Pumping
PumpingPumping
The pump is designed to deliver a flow of 15 liters/minute (4 gallons per
minute) at 0 feet head. To prevent external circulation, the PUMP INLET and
PUMP OUTLET lines are capped. The caps must be removed when external
circulation is required.
To properly secure the external hose connections to the unit, wrap teflon
tape around the pipe line threads before installation. Once the hose connections are made, the pump must be properly plumbed to an external system.
It is important the bath is not in operation until all plumbing is complete.
If the bath is not used for external circulation, make sure the stainless steel
caps are in place prior to operating the bath.
