They seem to have a finite life-time: we had two of these, bought at
the same time, self-immolate the way you describe within months of
another, after ~5 years of good service.
We asked TW about it and they said it would cost more to get it fixed
than just get a new one -- then again, they would have said that,
wouldn't they. If you figure out how to re-suck the vacuum, do tell the
list!
Cheers

P.S. Sorry, we don't have an adaptor -- you probably figured :)

Dear ccp4bb,
We have a *Taylor-Wharton *CX100 Dry shipper Dewar that has lost it's
vacuum insulation. The vacuum sealing plug "popped out" of the valve
(standard 30mm diameter).
Has anyone found a vacuum adapter that fits so that one can
re-establish vacuum insulation at "home"?
I would ideally need to find a vacuum adapter that fits the valve of
the Dewar and that ends in a KF16 Flange (preferably), so that we can
re-establish vacuum insulation ourselves.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
