1. Connect a vacuum pump with new oil

2. Connect an accurate micron gauge to monitor vacuum status

3. Perform vacuum until the vacuum gauge reads 200 microns or less

4. Once 200 microns or less has been reached, continue pump operation for an additionalhour

5. Close all manifold valves and turn off vacuum pump

6. Monitor system and verify that the pipe system maintains 200 microns for two hours

7. If vacuum is not maintained, break with dry nitrogen and redo vacuum process

•Vacuum pump operation duration must be over 2.5 hours.

•When the ambient temperature is below 32ͼF, extra care must be takes to ensure thatthe pipe system remains
moisture free during and after installation.
