Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ORION from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in ORION laboratory sinks and how do they resist corrosion?
ORION laboratory sinks are constructed from polyethylene, a thermoplastic known for its resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents. Polyethylene does not rust or corrode like metal sinks, making it suitable for laboratory environments where chemical spills are common. The material is also non-porous, which prevents absorption of liquids and simplifies cleaning. ORION sinks are available in various rectangular sizes, with bowl depths ranging from 6 to 12 inches, and some models are ADA-compliant for accessibility.
Are ORION dilution tanks compatible with standard plumbing connections?
Yes, ORION dilution tanks, such as the OF59155-200 model, are designed with plastic construction and include two inlets for connection to plumbing systems. The tank has a 1.5-gallon capacity and overall dimensions of 9 inches in diameter and 10 inches in depth. These tanks are typically used in laboratory or industrial settings to dilute chemical waste before disposal, and they integrate with standard drainage systems via slip or threaded connections, depending on the specific model.
What is the purpose of the ORION socket fusion head set and what pipe sizes does it accommodate?
The ORION socket fusion head set (MPN 950032) is a tool used for joining plastic pipes through socket fusion welding. It is designed for 3/4-inch pipe size and includes heads compatible with ORION Fusion Tools models 3PFU1 and 3PFU2. This set is used in applications where permanent, leak-proof joints are required in polypropylene or polyethylene piping systems, such as in chemical processing or water treatment facilities.
Do ORION sink drains come with overflow protection?
Some ORION drain assemblies, like the WA-1 model, do not include an overflow feature. The WA-1 is a plastic drain assembly with a removable stopper, designed for sinks where overflow is not required. However, ORION also offers separate overflow drain tees, such as the 385551-15 model, which can be installed in laboratory sinks to provide overflow drainage. These tees have a 1 1/4-inch nominal pipe size and slip connections.
What is the difference between ADA-compliant and non-ADA-compliant ORION laboratory sinks?
ORION offers laboratory sinks in both ADA-compliant and non-ADA-compliant versions. ADA-compliant models, such as the ARLS14ADA, are designed with a lower bowl depth (6 inches) and overall height to meet accessibility standards for wheelchair users. Non-ADA models, like the ARLS 17 and ARLS 18, have deeper bowls (10 to 12 inches) and are intended for standard countertop installations. Both types are made from corrosion-resistant polyethylene.
