Installation notes

  1. 1Ensure mortar completely seals the annular gap between porous plug and well block
  2. 2Connect argon line, test gas flow before tapping first heat
  3. 3After each campaign: inspect and measure plug erosion, replace if worn beyond safe limit
  4. 4Monitor gas pressure during heat, sudden pressure increase indicates plug clogging
