Connection of the Fore-Vacuum Pump
A KF 16 flange is available to connect the TV 401/301 MS pump to the

pipe is used, any vibration generated by the mechanical pump must
be eliminated through the use of bellows.

suitable trap between the turbopump and the fore-vacuum pump in order to
prevent oil backstreaming.
