Good question. Solmetex is
now providing the hardware
necessary to change-out the
old Hg5 Amalgam Separator
to the new NXT Hg5
Amalgam Separator without
having to remove and replace
the blue backplate.
With the supplied hardware,
you can keep the existing
backplate on the wall, and
change only the bracket,
screws, nuts & bolts to install
your new NXT Hg5 Amalgam
Separator. It's that easy!
Why do I need this hardware replacement kit?
