what adapter to run my vac oven to my vac pump?

I just got a vac oven from BVV and it apparently has a 'KF25 Vacuum Port'. It doesn't appear i have any sort of adapters that came with it that will adapt this KF25 Vacuum Port to my 1/4" 48" FJIC Stainless Steel hose.


Am I missing a part? it doe have a spacer/adapter looking piece that looks like a large male wedding band, two o-rings, a clamp along with a piece that looks like a miniature top plate to a closed loop extractor that has female threads which won't adapt to my hose either. am i suppose to use these pieces nad get a male to male adapter that just didn't come with the oven?

KF-25 High Vacuum Flange X FNPT

KF-25 or NW25 Vacuum fittings are designed for Ultra-High-Vacuum applications and are made out of 304 stainless steel. These fittings require a special gasket with metal centering ring to not allow over compression of the gasket. These fittings have female NPT threads that come in a variety of sizes from 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" Female NPT threading which require thread sealant if they are installed to another NPT adapted fitting.


"am i suppose to use these pieces nad get a male to male adapter that just didn't come with the oven?"

Seems so.

Thank you so much. When I picked up my vac oven it was in a crate that we had to open on the spot due to space limitations and I think some pieces got left. I was able to get it all sorted out at the hardware store for under $10.
