Connection of the Fore-Vacuum Pump

The foreline connection should be made using the KF 16 NW flange provided on
the TwisTorr 305-IC. The connection to the foreline pump can be made by a
vacuum rated hose or pipe. If a rigid pipe is used, any vibration generated by the
mechanical pump must be damped through the use of bellows.
The TwisTorr 305-IC is characterized by its high compression ratio also for oil

vapors. When using a mechanical oil-sealed pump, it is advisable to install a
suitable trap between the turbopump and the fore-vacuum pump in order to
prevent back streaming oil or particulate from dry pumps.
