7. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

7.1. Location

It does not matter whether the Micro Ports are installed vertically or horizontally. Note the following when determining the position of the Micro Ports:

7.2. Before weldingTheMicroPortbase(housing)istheitemtobewelded.Thecap/plug,theseptumandallothercomponents must be removed from the base before welding, as heat from the welding process will otherwise damage them.

7.3. After weldingThebaseisweldedtothetankorpipefollowingtheinstructionsinchapter8.Oncethebasehascooledofftheothercomponentsmustbefittedtothebase,asfollows:For the Micro Port:

• Replacing septum (only Micro Port)• Replacingwick(onlyMicroPort)• Replacing the testimonial foil and septum (only Multi Micro Port)

Occasional maintenance consists of replacing worn or damaged o-rings.
