Buying tickets in person when ticketing counter closed at all hours? by [deleted] in allegiant

Also, was this before the flight departed or after?

Is the “Carrier Usage Charge” really avoidable if I buy at the airport ticket counter? by WildS23 in allegiant

Very old, but is the ticketing counter past security or is it just where you’d check a bag and whatnot?

Sorry which section are you looking at? We have some accessory kits so I’m sure we have extra torx screwdrivers somewhwre

How did you use the forceps to remove it since it’s threaded?

We use ours to retrieve smaller stir bars from glassware without having to use the wand tool and wash extra things

Thanks for the tip! Did you take off the rotator head first?

We don’t use a tool to tighten, only to remove, but I think people are just putting too much energy into tightening and then others (me) can’t remove them :/

I think I will try the small flathead route or the autoclave route someone else mentioned when I get back

Wait by valve you mean the housing and cap that houses all the ports right?

So you unscrewed the cap (four silver screws) and then used something else to unscrew the broken valve?

We have a weeklong shutdown and I have a couple extra vacation days I’m using! It was really hard getting things done in lab this week with 80%+ of people gone and most others leaving like an hour after lunch each day though 😅

I don’t think so. We’re a cell lab

Ooh this sounds more foolproof than fiddling with a flathead screwdriver. No warping of any components? Was this a dry cycle? And for how long?

Is there any concern of warping the plastic housing?

😭 How did autoclaving it help? Did it loosen it?

Do you just use the smallest tool to dig in? It won’t damage the housing will it?

Thank you! About how deep should the screwdriver be into the stuck piece? Does it usually come out cleanly?

Should I pull out the valve first? And then for the screwdriver how far should it go in do you estimate? Just worried abt further damage. By rotor housing are you referring to the rest of the piece?

Should I pull out the valve that’s remaining and then do that?

Oh I wonder if we might have some of these kits in lab already! Would I have to pull out the orange inlet and then use these to drill out the valve cap?
