Agilent E2M5 Vacuum Pump Double-Barbed Chemical Trap Installation Guide

About this manual

This document details the installation of a double-barbed chemical trap system designed for the Edwards E2M5 vacuum pump. The upgrade kit reduces the overall height of the assembly and lowers the cost of replacement traps compared to previous systems.

The guide covers two main procedures: installing the mounting hardware on the pump inlet and attaching the chemical trap. It includes steps for removing the original flanged trap, replacing it with a gray barbed fitting using an O-ring, and securing the new aluminum plate to the pump body.
