Glass Condensation Flasks
Glass condensation flasks are ordered separately. They come in two types:
the GCF400 and the GF4000.
3.4 GCF400
The GCF400 is an open-mouth flask used with 4-liter traps. The wide
mouth facilitates cleaning and removal. A rubber Flask Cover (FC400) fits
over the top, and tubing attaches to this by means of fittings pushed into
molded ports on the rubber cover. This forms the vacuum connection. An
insulating cover fits over the flask to seal in the cold and seal out
atmospheric condensation from the refrigerated chamber.
The figure below shows the GCF400 installation in the RVT5105 chamber.
To the left is an insulation "lift and turn"retaining clip.

Installation
Place a clean, dry Glass Condensation Flask into the stainless steel chamber.
Fit the black insulating cover over the flask. Seal flask mouth with the black
rubber Flask Cover (FC400). Press down flask and black insulating cover so
that the level of CryoCool rises around the flask, and so that the flask, its
cover, and insulation are seated to operating position. Lift and rotate the two
black retaining clips to hold down both the insulation ring and the Glass
Flask.
