The pump inlet and outlet ports are female ¼ inch NPT connections that permit use of barbed tubing
adapters or hard plumbing fittings. ½ inch (13mm) ID tubing may also be slid over these connections
and held in place with a hose clamp. If the pump inlet and outlet are not used for external circulation,
they should be connected using the tubing provided with the unit in order to optimize fluid mixing
within the reservoir.
Picture 1: Inlet to outlet connection. When bath is not circulating with an external
device, the tubing provided with the unit should be used as shown above.
The nylon barbed tubing adapter fittings supplied with the unit are intended for temperature control
from -40° to 93°C. For controlling temperature above 93°C, brass, stainless steel, or Teflon
®
fittings
are recommended. ¼ inch NPT to M16 stainless steel male adapter fittings are provided with all
50Hz models.
IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE TUBING AND FITTINGS
CONNECTED TO THE CIRCULATOR ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE BATH FLUID AND
TEMPERATURE RANGE BEING USED.
NOTE: The use of quick-connect fittings will restrict flow rate. Therefore a high or maximum pump
speed should be used.
