Here is a new render of the vacuum chamber that includes the 2.75 tee to place the Argon leak right next to the RGA. The conical reducer under the spherical cube was also replaced with a 4.5 blank. The height from the bottom of the blank to the bottom face of the chamber is 5.45". With the chamber now on 1" standoffs, we will need a support with a height of 6.45".
