Restrictor and Column Installation
Install the column
1
Hang the analytical column on the column clips. The clips hold the outside
of the wire “basket” that supports the column. Adjust the clips if necessary.
2
Connect the column to the inlet fitting.
Connect the splitter
1
Connect the restrictors to the connectors on the splitter (
Figure 15
).
Finger-tighten until just snug, then tighten with a wrench an additional 15°
(
Figure 16
). Install the back restrictor first.
2
Connect the restrictors to the appropriate detectors.
3
Connect the column exit to the splitter. Tighten as you did the restrictors.
N O T E
Restrictors and the column exit are connected to the splitter assembly using internal nuts
and SilTite ferrules. See “
Swaging SilTite Ferrules
” on the CD for details.
C A U T I O N
Arrange the tubing (restrictors and column) so that it does not touch the oven walls.
This could create a cold spot.
