Attaching the Overflow Safety Trap (OST)
CAUTION ⚠
To help prevent aspirate from entering the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline equipment,
a safety trap should be attached prior to its use. Aspirate in the regulator, wall outlet
and pipeline equipment may impair its operation. The use of the safety trap and suction
filter will help prevent this and extend the life of suction equipment.

Figure 2
1. Raise the sleeve and insert the trap into the regulator
fitting.
2. Turn the trap clockwise about one and a half turns
to engage the threads. The trap does not need to
be screwed tight; an O-ring in the regulator fitting
provides a vacuum seal. The trap should rotate freely
to allow the desired tubing positioning.
3. Lower sleeve to lock trap in position.

Figure 3
1. Insert trap into the regulator fitting. Situate the tubing
in the desired position.
2. Turn the DISS wing nut clockwise to engage threads
and tighten (there is no O-ring, so the vacuum seal
depends on a tight connection).
