Gather the following materials (see “Consumables and parts
for the SCD and NCD” on page 65):
• Column installation tool for SCD/NCD (G3488-81302)
• Column
• Ferrule (for column)
• Column nut
• Column cutter
• 1/4-inch open-end wrench

NOTE
This procedure describes how to attach a column directly to an XCD. In a
tandem FID-XCD installation, install the column into the FID as described
in the FID instructions. See the GC documentation.
WARNING
The oven, inlet, or detector may be hot enough to cause burns. If
the oven, inlet, or detector is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to
protect your hands.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles
while handling, cutting, or installing glass or fused silica
capillary columns. Use care in handling these columns to prevent
puncture wounds.
CAUTION
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with
dirt and skin oils.
