The same spare part is used for the VMS and Parlour installations and on both HN1 and HN2 versions of the sample intake.
  • Page 24 3.1.6.2 Mounting of the new tube. Ensure that the new tube is clean and undamaged. The Tube must NOT be lubricated with any kind of lubrication. The pressure side of the tube should have a length of 100 mm after the pump. Position the tube in the housing so that the end of the tube with the threaded fitting is in the right hand groove of the housing and protruding 100mm from the housing.
  • Page 25 Connecting the tube on VMS installation: HN version 1 (left picture) the length of the tube should be cut so that the tube will fit into the outlet of the filter. The 100 mm tube on the pressure side should be mounted to the tube going from the SI to the AI. Note that a plastic strap needs to be tightened around the tube at the filter stud.
