Here’s a gem that I use and love. Use poly water line for your vacuum applications that don’t require deep vacuum. My roto pump is 8’ away and I only use 6" of heavy wall silicone tubing. Just use a couple inches of hose to connect water line to hose barb and pump/regulator. Holds vac perfectly.

Are the ports in your lids threaded all the way through? I thought about doing something like this, but all my lids aren’t, so I ended up buying some teflon tubing slightly smaller than the port, wrapping the end in teflon tape and jamming it in, it works, but is pretty ghetto.

For guys like me with smaller runs, I was using disposable refrigerant dryers instead of a mol sieve.
They’re good for about 6# of solvent before they need recharging. Definitely too small for anything bigger than a 1/2# system, but it’s a cheap little drier that works.

Here’s a neat trick I learned through public schooling (imagine that) . . .
If you find a study/publication/article with good information/data, check the reference list at the end as well…

with the new fangled electronic tools, you can find out who’s cited said “useful information” too…way easier than the old school paper lookup.
lets you explore the rabbit hole in both fore & aft

Yeah, I can find em as cheap as 11.50, or I used to anyway. Plus bvv you gotta add shipping too.
I pieced myself a big boy drier recently though.

if using a knockbox 100 get some chopsticks. Place them in the tubes after each hopper fill to pack the cones decently
