route the degasser vent tubing to a fume hood or other suitable exhaust system.
Alternatively, route the tubing to a suitable waste container, ensuring that the
tubing's discharge end is at all times elevated above the fluid level.
Warning:
Notice:
To avoid fluid backup and false leak-sensor alarms, ensure proper
drainage of waste:
• Place the waste container below the system stack, to permit gravity flow.
• Ensure that the waste and degasser vent tubes do not crimp or bend. A crimp
or bend can impede flow to the waste container.
• Ensure that the exit of the waste and degasser vent tubes is not immersed in
waste solvent. If necessary, shorten each tube so that no portion of it drops
below the top of the waste container.
3. Route the pre-installed degasser vent tubing to a suitable exhaust system or vented waste
container.
