If a fresh installation of the Swagelok connector on the gas
line is required, please follow the following steps to assembly
the PV tube:
2. If installing on a
metal gas line (brass or stainless steel), please pre-Swagelok
fitting on the gas line by following the video below
The outer diameter of the gas
line is 1/8”, so ¾ extra turn would tighten the
fitting. An example of stainless steel fitting 250-4B-2 on a
gas line is shown below.
3. Remove
the lower nut (the one with the blue cap);
4. Install the PTFE PV valve in the nut
as shown in picture below. The needle valve can be tightly
closed using a small wrench.
If connecting the PV tube to an existing glass vacuum
manifold through a rubber hose is needed, please refer
to the picture below
