Trident Sample Line clearing Tip

[Staplesofficewar]

Just unplugged two sample lines. Not sure if this as been tried (surely it has) but I tried a syringe to push water through them. No go. I then took a rolling pin and lightly rolled the length of the tube. I could hear crunching sounds. I then was able to blow the micro kidney stones out. Filled tube with vinegar and rinsed with RO. Maybe this will save someone.

Good tip! They also have filters for the sample line now to help when getting crud in the tube.

I flushed mine out with a Dewalt tire pump -- compressed air.

What's the trick to fill it with vinegar, considering that it's a tiny tube - syringe?
