Hi Brian,

I’ve likely got the valve you need and I would be glad to send you
one.

Also, rough pump is fine but turbo is better.

Best regards,

Jon

Hi Brian,

Roughing pump should be fine, no need for a turbo.

The biggest QOL improvement comes from attaching a vacuum gauge. Indispensable
for knowing achievable end point, measuring vacuum progress, and re-testing
for softening. Unfortunately they run upwards of $800. I'd check with coworkers
before buying new; any synthetic lab doing schlenk work would have several in use.

Kind regards,

Luke

I have a He transfer line that has softened and needs to be pumped down. It's
from a 2005 ish Bruker AVII 300 MHz instrument and the vacuum connector piece
cannot be found (see attached photo). Does anyone know where I can find one?
Also, will a rough pump be enough, in general?

Thanks

Brian
