There is rust/corrosion observed around the hinge on the HCl vessel lid. What should I do?

When the lid is raised, some residual acid may flow onto the hinges and the handle. Over time, corrosion will occur if this happens. When lifting the lid after a run, it is recommended that the lid be wiped off with a paper towel to prevent dripping onto the hinges and handle.

If rust or corrosion is observed around the hinge on the vessel lid, the lid will need to be replaced. The Lid & Latch Assembly (Part #: H2) can be ordered from the ANKOM website. Contact ANKOM for replacement instructions.
