- Fix 32mm straight tube to the most convenient position on the benches, usually at the back or underneath, using 2 cobra clips and screws per length of tube. The tube can be cut to length using a sharp knife or hacksaw.
- Push 32mm tube into "O" ring socket if applicable. Use soap or silicon grease to ease assembly. If assembly is difficult use a sharp knife to chamfer tube.
- the tubes can be joined together using 100mm lengths of flexible tube cut from the 2.5m length supplied. The flex pushes over the tube to make a vacuum tight connection. Typically clips are not necessary.
- The remainder of the flexible tube should be used to connect the unit to the pipe work.
- Open ends of pipe run should be sealed by inserting a red end cap into the tube.
- At each point along the bench where a soldering iron is to be placed, a 14mm hole should be drilled in the pipe and a clear plug inserted. Care should be taken not to enlarge the hole size as the plug needs to make a tight fit.
- Typical installations for the VT-2 & HC-3 is directly connecting the tip conversion kit via the 4mm tubing to the inlets onn the top of the unit. A full line of iron conversion kits can be found in the accessories section of the XY Plus Fume Extraction catalog.
