Am I coming off the gauge correctly to the condenser

Do u have the user manual ?

Do you have enough tubing?

You have a two port manifold, the one you have the tubing on now, should connect to the glass somewhere that there isn’t a connection to the glass coil. Those red “gl” connections should always have the o-ring inside of them and connect to the glass coil at two spots. Top should be coldest so that’s your chiller line in and the bottom should go out to your chiller’s inlet.

Working on vacuum at the moment this where I’m at I feel I’m ready to pull vac

Ya I agree it’s way overkill I just figured it would be better than nothing for the vac pump

Nice setup! can you put the cold trap on the table next to the pump?

it’s a beast won’t fit on the table are you suggesting that to shorten the length of the lines?

should I be pulling more vac than this here to run my rotovape?

They didn’t answer cause they jelly. That lab is sick. I wish I could confirm for you but I think this dude runs a tight ship.
