Connecting or Replacing Valve Inlet Tubing

Flexible tubing connects the valves to the gas manifold inside the degasser. If there is no gas
flow to a particular valve, the tubing could be disconnected. To check the tubing:
1. Remove the top rear panel (refer to previous page).
2. The tubing should be connected to the valve and to one of the spokes on the manifold. If it
is disconnected at either end, connect it by pressing firmly into place. If a spoke on the
manifold is loose, tighten it finger-tight plus 1/2 turn with a wrench. Do not overtighten
because the gasket may become forced out of place. The fitting would then leak.
3. Replace the top rear panel.
