The TE-6001-43 Swing Bolt Assembly is a complete latching mechanism that includes brass bolt, black thumb nut, washer, and lock nut for secure closure of PM10 size-selective inlet housings on Tisch Environmental high volume ambient air samplers. This assembly ensures proper sealing of the inlet housing to maintain accurate particulate sampling performance.
Key Components
- Brass swing bolt for corrosion resistance
- Black thumb nut for hand-tightening without tools
- Washer for even load distribution
- Lock nut to prevent loosening during operation
Compatibility
This swing bolt assembly is specifically designed for use with TE-6001 PM10 size-selective inlet housings, working in conjunction with the TE-6001-6 Top Tub Housing Strike. It is compatible with all TE-6000 series PM10 high volume ambient air samplers that require EPA-compliant particulate monitoring per CFR Appendix J Part 50.
Compatible PM10 inlet housing components include:
- TE-6001-5 Top Tub Housing
- TE-6001-13 Bottom Tub Housing
- TE-6001-6 Top Tub Housing Strike (closure counterpart)
Installation and Maintenance
The anodized aluminum shelter housing is designed to withstand outdoor environmental conditions with minimal maintenance. Regular inspection of the swing bolt assembly ensures continued proper sealing of the inlet housing. The brass construction resists corrosion in ambient monitoring applications, while the thumb nut design allows for easy access during routine filter changes without requiring tools.
Applications
This component supports EPA-compliant PM10 particulate sampling at flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min, where particulates smaller than 10 microns are collected on 8" x 10" quartz filter media for ambient air quality monitoring applications.
