Hi,
I am trying to think of a way to attach my water baffle/cold trap to the bottom of my base plate. The baffle is attached to a diffusion pump, meaning that I need a good seal between the plate and the baffle. I was thinking about drilling holes in the baffle and half way through the base plate, then tapping the holes and putting an o-ring on the baffle, inside of the screws to get a perfect seal. I am afraid I may not have enough room for this though, because the baffle is a toroid shape, so I might not be able to fit a screw through the hole from the bottom of the base plate. Is there an easier way to do this without screws??
Thanks in advanced for the help
