Frequently asked questions
What size filter paper does it take?+
30 cm (11.81") or 22 cm (8.66"), per both the specification table and the manufacturer's quick start guide. The funnel's internal diameter is 9.7" and it has an 80 flange opening.
What materials is it built from?+
GG-17 high-borosilicate glass for the 5 L spherical flask, stainless steel for the funnel and frame, and 304 stainless for the pipework. The frame runs on easy-glide casters.
What are the funnel and overall dimensions?+
Funnel 10.2" diameter x 10" high from filter to top, 9.7" internal diameter, 19" from funnel bottom to top. Overall unit 16" L x 13" W x 52" H, 45 lb packed.
Is a vacuum pump included?+
No. The quick start guide has you connect your own vacuum source to the barb on the offset port on top of the flask. Neither a pump nor filter paper is itemised with this unit.
How is it set up?+
Per the quick start guide: the funnel ships in the mounting bracket with the clamp assembly and glass flask packed separately. Lift and secure the funnel to leave room for the flask, fit the rubber half of the clamp to the flask, lower the funnel into the flask and secure the connection, then fit the barbed valve into the flask's offset port.
How do I seat the filter paper correctly?+
The guide directs you to lay the paper in the funnel and wet it with the clean solvent used in your solution, then open the barb valve to begin depressurising the vessel. The paper is ready to filter once it lies flat with no creases — repeated wetting may be needed to get there.
What joint does the drain valve use?+
The glass shut-off valve uses a 24/29 joint.
