Connect the Permeate Fittings

Two gaskets and two clamps are supplied for attaching fittings to the two PERMEATE
fittings located on the sides of the manifold plate. The PERMEATE fittings accommodate
standard ½-inch or ¾-inch sanitary fittings and adapters.

Inserting the Pellicon Cassettes

Use one to three cassettes depending on the desired permeate flow rate. Permeate flow
rate increases as filter area increases.
