Set-Up & Operation
- Aluminium Flask Inserts
Fitting central support rod to base plate
There are a choice of two support rods; the 505-81050-00 650mm one piece rod and the
two piece 505-81060-00 650mm split rod. The spilt rod allows for shorter assemblies.
1. Screw the rod into the tapped central hole at the centre of the base plate
2. Using a suitably sized adjustable spanner, tighten the
captive nut attached to the rod to securely mount
the rod to the base assembly.
Aluminium inserts are designed to adapt the 250ml MonoBlock or PolyBlock to
accept 5ml, 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 150ml and 250ml round bottomed flasks.
1. Select appropriate insert. The insert size is engraved on the rim.
2. Place correct insert in the 250ml well, taking care to make sure it is fully located.
3. The aluminium inserts are designed in such a way that should the flask fall over it will
still remain supported at such an angle as to retain the typical working volume of that
flask. However we recommend the use of the 505-81020-00 Universal Telescopic
5-Way Clamp when using any round bottomed flasks.
4. When clamping smaller flasks the use of a glass joint adapter to extend
the neck of the flask will assist in clamping.
