Parr Instrument Company has service fixtures available for our reactor heads and cylinders. These fixtures allow the service technician or end user to safely grasp the head or cylinder in a bench mounted vise to aid in assembling or disassembling reactor components. Each fixture is designed to hold the cylinder and head making it so only one fixture is needed per series size. In addition, rotating the fixture to an upright position allows convenient access to the underside of the head.

These devices come in a variety of size ranges (for bench mounted vise) to accommodate reactors as small as the MRS 5000 all the way up to our 2 liter 4520/30 Series. Larger diameter reactors like the 4550, 4555 and 4580 Series will require their own table mounted fixture as the jaws of a standard vise will not open far enough to hold the device.
