Dear Editor,
 The wire locking-hook on the mounting TAPE
bracket for the MI I portable decon pulls HERE
out easy with use, and very often ends up \'
lost. You can head this off by winding
the hinge-end of the hook real tight with
a 'j-in wide strip of waterproof, tape,

 If your Mill portable decon has lost the E-ring
 holding the valve locking pin, rin this lock on the
 pin. Loop a short piece of locking wire (FSN 9505-
 308-3978) around the pin's retainer ring groove,
 S twist the ends into a pigtail, and fold the rail over
 the end of the locking pin. In a pinch you can use
 a common paper staple for the locking job.
