Glass reflux column assembly instructions
The glass reflux columns that we sell come with glass gaskets and it's custom designed for the glass reflux columns(2" , 3" , 4" , 6" and 8" columns at the moment,can make bigger upon request). The glass gasket goes in between the glasses and it has a groove in the inner edge, you can put the bubble plate in the groove and it will hold the bubble plate in place. We use flat gaskets for the flanges(bottom and the top of the glass column).
Here we take 3 inch glass column section as example to show you how to assembly the column.
