Caution! Install KwikLink cable on vacuum tubing only. DO NOT install KwikLink cable on material conveying tubing, as static electricity formed at material lines could disrupt system operation.

Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates
Setting Up Mounting Plates
It’s a good idea to get all your mounting plates set up with KwikLink connector bases or ArmorBlock cable bases before installation, as your system layout determines.
Note: ArmorBlock cable bases are installed on mounting plates perpendicular in orientation to the flat cable runs.
Vacuum hoppers/receiver stations and vacuum pumps require
Make sure that each mounting plate has properly attached tube clamps as required. Each mounting plate requires two (2) tube clamps. Always use locking washers, especially in
