The Drain Line
4. Take the extension tubing marked "Drain", slip a hose
clamp over it and push one end of the extension tubing
firmly onto the barbed fitting on the "Drain Line"
attached to the Abbott VP 2000 Processor.
5. Slide the hose clamp along the tubing until it is centered
in the portion of the tubing covering the barbed fitting.
6. Tighten the clamp.
7. Route the "Drain Line" to the drain. Secure the "Drain"
tubing at the sink end to prevent it from being
accidentally knocked away. Be sure not to restrict fluid
flow.
CAUTION: The "Drain Line" operates on gravity feed
and therefore must run downhill all the way to the
drain and must not have any loops or kinks. Keep the
drain tube as short as possible to reduce the chance of
loops or kinks.
The Water Line
1. Take the extension tubing marked "Water In" and slip two
(2) hose clamps over the tubing.
2. Push one end of the extension tubing firmly over the
barbed fitting on the "Water In" Line.
3. Place one (1) hose clamp about 3/8" from the end of the
tubing over the barbed fitting and tighten the clamp.
4. Connect the "Water In" extension line to the water
supply. Slip the hose clamp over the end of the tubing and
push the tubing onto the barbed fitting on the water
supply. Secure the connection with the hose clamp.
NOTE: The tubing supplied is for a standard
laboratory barbed spigot faucet. If another type of
faucet is used, purchase a barbed-fitting adapter to
your particular fixture from a plumbing or
laboratory supply house.
