Overview Field Environmental Instruments (FEI) offers this resource guide as an overview of the equipment, supplies and safety gear utilized in vapor intrusion and soil-vaporsampling events. Please contact FEI staff for additional instrument specifications or application assistance relative to distinct project requirements or site conditions.
Necessary Equipment and Supplies Monitoring & Sample Point Installation: The chosen installation method should be determined from on-site characteristics, overall monitoring period and required sampling data. Leak Detection: Testing for leaks ensures the collected sample’s integrity. Analytical Sample Collection: If field tests determine lab testing is necessary, vacuum chambers can be used to collect samples. Field Screening: Use of direct-read instruments can determine if collected samples require further laboratory testing. Real-time vapor monitoring: Field Data Solutions enhances decision making with wireless monitoring systems that deliver real-time data, instant alerts, and project specific reports.
FEI has you covered for all of the steps!

1
Vapor Point Installation: Create a vapor-access point by drilling a small diameter hole into the site’s foundation then installing a Vapor Pin®.
2
Helium Shroud Set-up: Connect tubing from the installed pin to the shroud’s interior fitting, then place the shroud over the access area. Next, connect tubing from the shroud’s exterior helium port to the helium gas’ fixed-flow regulator. Lastly, connect a second line of tubing from the shroud’s exterior sample port to a three-way valve, which will enable users to collect samples or detect leaks within the sample line.
3
Leak Check: Layer modeling clay around the shroud’s base to create an airtight seal between the external atmosphere and vapor-access point. Now, introduce the helium tracer gas into the shroud via the fixed-flow regulator. Note: A helium detector should be used to check for leaks around the helium shroud’s base. Also, connect the leak detector to one end of the three-way valve’s tubing to ensure no gas is escaping the sample system. Disconnect the helium gas and purge the shroud after completing leak detection. To ensure the sample line is free from moisture or interference, purge the sample line with a syringe or air-sampling pump and vacuum chamber.
4
Shut-in Test (if using a Summa Cannister): Connect the sample train to the sample port to perform the shut-in test. Ensure all fittings are tight and there are no leaks between the cannister and regulator. Negative pressure must be achieved from the regulator for at least one minute. Take note that requirements of the negative pressure that is achieved for one minute change per state. Three volumes of air must be purged before collecting your sample.
5 6
Sample Collection: Once the sample line is purged and no leaks are confirmed, samples can be collected using an air-sampling pump and a tedlar bag located within the vacuum chamber. Field Screening: Use a field screening device to detect VOCs or other contaminants of concern from the tedlar bag sample. See References (pg. 23)

Vapor Pin® Product Use Guide This guide is intended to help FEI staff and customers understand when to use each Vapor Pin® product type. Product selection should always account for project scope, installation style, sampling duration, site conditions, and applicable state or regulator requirements Sampling Devices Item/Product Type
Description & Use
Brass Vapor Pin® Sampling Device
Economical option for short-duration sampling events, grab samples, and temporary stick-up installations. Brass pins are useful when the pin will be installed, sampled, removed, cleaned, and reused, but they are more susceptible to corrosion than stainless steel.
Stainless Steel Vapor Pin® Sampling Device
Recommended for longer-duration monitoring, permanent installations, and most stocking situations because stainless steel is more durable than brass. Stainless steel pins are commonly paired with secure covers for flush-mount or permanent installations.
FLX-VP™ Sampling Device
Flexible Vapor Pin® option used where configuration flexibility or FLX-specific accessories are needed. Appropriate for projects requiring a stainless steel sampling point with compatible FLX caps, barbs, bundles, or insert assemblies.
Mini Vapor Pin® Sampling Device
Compact permanent sampling device that performs the same sampling function as a standard Vapor Pin® while using a smaller footprint. Strong option for thin concrete, residential buildings, apartments, schools, and projects where faster installation or a lower-profile permanent point is preferred.
Sampling Device Sets
Preassembled device sets intended to simplify ordering by combining the sampling device with common installation components. Helpful when staff or customers need a ready-touse configuration instead of selecting each part individually.
Hand Pump Set
Field support item used with sampling setups where a manual pump is needed to support purging, flow checks, or sampling preparation depending on the project method.
Installation Essentials and Covers Item/Product Type
Description & Use
Installation/Extraction Tool
Core field tool used to install and remove standard Vapor Pin® sampling devices. Important for technicians handling reusable pins or temporary stick-up sampling events.
Stainless Steel Secured Cover
Protective cover used for permanent or flush-mount installations where the sampling point needs to remain in place. High-priority stocking item because customers often reuse existing pins but need new covers for permanent installations.
Spanner for Secured Cover
Tool used to open or secure the stainless steel secured cover. Needed for secured cover installations and also useful for mini pin sampling device configurations
Stainless Steel Drilling Guide
Supports consistent hole placement and cleaner installations by helping guide drilling during Vapor Pin® installation work.
Stick-Up Drill Guide
Guide used for temporary stick-up installations where the Vapor Pin® extends above the slab for short-term sampling.
Plastic Flush Mount Covers
Plastic cover option for flush-mount configurations where a lower-cost cover is acceptable. Useful in bundles and replacement situations where the project does not require a secured stainless steel cover.

Vapor Pin® Product Use Guide

Sleeves, Caps, Inserts, and Leak Testing Item/Product Type
Description & Use
Vapor Pin® Silicone Sleeves
Critical sealing component used during Vapor Pin® installation. Vapor Pin® emphasized using their sleeves because sleeve material, curing, and preparation affect sealing performance; third-party sleeves were associated with leakage concerns.
Vapor Pin® Caps
Common replacement item used to cap sampling devices between sampling events. Caps can wear after repeated use, so they are a strong recurring stock item for customers who reuse Vapor Pins.
Vapor Pin® Insert / PVC Insert
Higher-value item used primarily for new construction and prepour projects, especially where vapor barrier or membrane systems are planned. Inserts should be identified early because they are installed before concrete is poured and may be ordered in larger quantities.
Water Dam
Used for mechanical leak testing around stick-up installations before sampling. The water dam helps hold water around the sampling point so technicians can look for air bubbles that indicate leakage.
Bottle Brush
Cleaning accessory used to help maintain reusable Vapor Pin® components and remove debris from installation or sampling equipment.
Extensions and Specialty Components Item/Product Type
Description & Use
Barb Extensions
Used to extend or adapt the sampling connection where additional reach or configuration flexibility is needed. The brass barb extension is noted as discontinued once existing stock is depleted.
1.5” Stainless Steel Extension
Used when the sampling point needs to be lowered below the slab surface, such as where concrete contamination could affect results or where a deeper sampling point is needed.
Stainless Steel Sealing Extension
Used when concrete is brittle, the hole has been drilled too deep, or the seal needs to be achieved lower in the concrete. Can serve as a field fix while maintaining the sampling point in the desired position.
Stainless Steel Sieve
Used where dust management is difficult or deeper sampling locations create particulate concerns. Helps protect the sample train and canister from dust or debris.
Vapor Pin® Filter
Specialty component used in moisture-prone, clay-rich, or groundwater-influenced conditions where clogging or water impact may be a concern. Best treated as limited specialty inventory.
Vapor Pin® Capsule
Accessory component used with Vapor Pin® configurations where protection, containment, or specialty sampling setup support is needed.
Vapor Pin® Product Use Guide Tubing, Fittings, and Sampling Connections Item/Product Type
Description & Use
Teflon Tubing
Sample train tubing used for vapor sampling connections. Meeting guidance noted Teflon tubing can be sourced from Vapor Pin® or other suppliers when compatible sizing is maintained.
Nylaflow Tubing
Rigid sample train tubing used for vapor sampling connections. Meeting guidance referenced 0.18” ID / 0.25” OD as the relevant size for Nylaflow and Teflon tubing.
Tygon Tubing
Short soft tubing connection used between the Vapor Pin® barb and sample train tubing. Meeting guidance referenced 0.187” ID / 0.312” OD and emphasized keeping this connection short to reduce leak risk
Tygon Connectors
Connector pieces used to support tubing transitions and sampling train setup. Useful as a replenishment item for field crews assembling or maintaining sample trains.
Quick Connect and Female Quick Connect
Connection hardware used to simplify sampling train attachment and disconnection. Useful for repeat sampling events and more efficient field setup.
Swagelok Fitting and Ferrule Set
Compression fitting components used for secure, leakresistant tubing connections in sampling assemblies or bundles requiring Swagelok-style hardware.
T Fitting, Male Pipe Adaptor, Mini Ball Valve, Vacuum Gauge, and Hand Pump
General sampling train components used for flow control, connection adaptation, vacuum checks, and field sampling support.
Drill Bits and Field Tools Item/Product Type
Description & Use
5/8” Hammer Drill Bit
Standard drill bit size used for Vapor Pin® installations. Recommended as a stocked field item for standard pin installation work.
1 1/2” Hammer Drill Bit
Used for flush-mount installations where a larger recess is needed for the cover. Often paired with a 5/8” hole for the pin itself.
Elastrator Tool
Field accessory used during assembly or installation tasks where sleeve, seal, or component handling requires a dedicated tool.
