FAQ
What are the differences between nXDS6i, nXDS6iC, and nXDS6iR?
nXDS6i is the standard model. nXDS6iC uses corrosion-resistant materials/seals for aggressive vapors. nXDS6iR is supplied without gas ballast for applications that do not require vapor handling.
Do these pumps need oil changes?
No. They are dry scroll designs—no oil in the vacuum path—reducing maintenance and contamination risk.
What does the gas ballast do?
Gas ballast improves handling of condensable vapors (e.g., water). If you frequently pump moisture or solvents, choose nXDS6i or nXDS6iC and add the appropriate ballast accessory.
Are cables and filters included?
Power cable is not included and must be selected for your region. Inlet filters and foreline accessories are optional.
