Instructions for the connection with centring rings and 
clamping flanges 
Small flange connections which are not mounted properly between 
the aggregates or to connect hoses are often the reason for serious 
vacuum problems. 
Loosen the connection and place the centring ring (with sealing ring 
inside) in a centred manner between the flange connections.. Seal 
the connection with the clamping ring by tightening the wing nut. 
Ensure that the centring ring neither slips out of place nor gets 
jammed.
