How to Mount Ceramic Dispense Tips
Instructions for Luer Lok Fittings, Asymtek & Camalot Equipment
Luer
Instructions for use in valves and syringes.
Most syringes and many valves come with Luer fittings. There is an adaptor to fit the ceramic dispense tips to these fittings.
It requires no tools, 100% hand twist. If the adaptor becomes glued together, the CLT Cap is made from Aluminum and it will break first. This means a relatively cheap part can be broken away and preserve your more expensive machined part. CLT Caps can be purchased alone or with the adaptor
The adapter is a high quality part with careful use, should last for years.

- There is a special cap to address. Ask for availability and cost (minor)
- this or the tab can be reduced using a grinding wheel.
- Any O-ring on top will take up the space
