Hi Dalibor,

I will take more detailed pictures today. My problem is that the needle valve I use is pure crap... It is not even bellow-sealed. I was sure it was, but it's not. See an image here:

So I will get rid of it and maybe just use it for the air-inlet... Man, I had really no idea about vacuum when I bought this. Stupid me.

I already have a pressure reducer matching my gas bottle with a 1/8" NPT thread. Ron helped me a great deal: I already purchased a matching compression fitting that will be vacuum tight (I hope) with enough teflon tape. In the compression fitting I will mount a 6mm copper tube on which I will solder 1mm capillary tubing, so quite similar to your setup.

I still need a connector to the KF16-system. I will go for a similar needle valve that you use and hook it up to the 1mm capillary. But what I really need is a connection to my KF-16 system in which I can screw one of the 1/8 NPT threads from the compression fittings.

I have seen that you already have such a flange. Where did you get it?

Hi,

Is it a kf-16 to threaded hole connection? Send me photos and description, I am making some parts for my system currently, so I could make that for You.

    Nice!

    I am currently figuring out how to connect the Neon bottle to my
    system, I will try one configuration tomorrow I guess.

    Hello Jens!

    It is rated as a high vacuum glass valve, so I guess there should
    no measurable leak.. I greased it with high vacuum grease, rated
    for 10e-6 torr. I bought it on ebay for 11 pounds from UK..

        Hi Dalibor,

        looks good! What is the leakage rate of the glass valve, I am
        curious?

            Hello guys!

            I would like to share my excitement of todays
            experiments! I was spending a lot of time on making
            tooling recently, so another glowing something after long
            time:

            thanks!
