Rear Panel Connections
Rear Panel Connections
1. Insert one end of the power cord into the input power connector at the rear of the degasser
and the other end into the appropriate power source.
When the FlowPrep leaves the factory, stabilizing tubes are placed in heating stations
1 and 6 to prevent the heater block from shifting during shipment. Be sure to remove
these tubes before turning on the FlowPrep.
2. Attach an appropriate regulator to the gas bottle. Leave the gas bottle shut-off valve closed
until instructed otherwise.
3. If the regulator has a 1/8 in. outlet, proceed to Step 4. If the regulator has a 1/4 in. outlet,
attach the reducer fitting to the outlet of the regulator shut-off valve.

4. Tighten the regulator shut-off valve nut.
Do not overtighten the fittings. Doing so can collapse the brass ferrule and cause a
leak.
5. Attach the copper tubing to the brass reducer fitting.
