The adapter provides a holder for Lens SaversŪ window which is easily removed simply by pulling it off of the "O" ring on the connector assembly. The Lens SaversŪ window can be removed without disturbing the focusing lens. The adapter also allows the assist gas pressure to pass into a cavity between the Lens SaversŪ window and the lens, which results in the pressure on both sides of the window being equalized. ICL's patent pending pressure equalization method prevents the Lens SaversŪ windows from breaking by providing an environment in which the pressure around the windows is equalized.
Since there are many manufacturers of very similar 1.1" diameter lens mounts, each with a unique taper angle and length on the work end, it is recommended that customers send ICL one of their lens mounts for installation of the adapter to assure that the connector assembly fits the mount properly. Specify the manufacturer of your laser or your replacement lens vendor who supplied the lens mount when ordering this adapter.
