General Maintenance

To Attach a Capillary Column Using SilTite Metal Fittings

This procedure is used to attach a capillary column to the 
Ultimate Union.

1

Gather the following:

•

SilTite ferrules (see 

Table 6

)

•

Swaging nut for SilTite ferrules (G2855-20555)

•

Two 1/4-inch open-end wrenches

•

One 7/16-inch open-end wrench

•

Column cutting tool (5181-8836)

•

Internal nut (G2855-20530)

•

Lint free gloves

2

Pass the tubing end through the internal nut and SilTite 
ferrule leaving approximately 1 cm of fused silica tubing 
protruding beyond the ferrule. Thread the swaging nut onto 
the internal nut with the tube protruding. 

Table 6

Available SilTite metal ferrule packages 

Part number

SilTite ferrule description

5188-5361

For 0.2- to 0.25-mm columns

5188-5362

For 0.32-mm columns

C A U T I O N

Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with 
dirt and skin oils.
