Lift the two levers (1) at either side of the pumphead and remove the track.

Stretching the tubing element slightly (2), locate it over the "pegs" at either

side of the pumphead (3).

Fitting Watson-

Marlow Double-

Y tubing

elements


Replace the track and pull down the securing levers.
Transfer tubing (4) may now be attached to the connectors and is available

from Watson-Marlow. It is advised to use 2.4mm wall tubing for transfer tubing

(to match the double tube elements) as this will give the best performance

under suction.
Lift the two levers (1) at each side of the pumphead and remove the track, as

above. Remove the "peg" on the inlet side. Do not remove the delivery side

peg (2).

Using twin inlet

tubes




Take the two lengths (3) of tubing to be used and insert the appropriate "Y"

connector (4). Lay this assembly across the rotor, with the "Y" connector over

the end peg on the delivery side (2). Whilst pulling the tubing taught from the

inlet side, take the correct tube clamp (5) (all tube clamps are marked with the

nominal bore for their intended tubing) and firmly secure using the same fixing

as the end peg. It is found to be easier to insert the two tubes into the

"arches" of the clamp before securing the clamp itself.
Replace the track and pull down the securing levers and connect the delivery

tube (6) to the output of the "Y" connector.
