Practice Working with vacuum systems requires good vacuum practice. Ceramaseal recommends that the user, at the minimum, address the following items.
Cleanliness is very important when handling any vacuum equipment.
The use of clean vinyl gloves is recommended at all times. Internal surfaces of vacuum equipment should never be touched without gloves, as fingerprints will contaminate the system, resulting in decreased pumping efficiency. Vacuum grease should be used sparingly. The components should be smooth to keep the surface area to a minimum. Rough surfaces provide locations where gases and other contaminants will adhere.
