Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC Installation

Connect gases to the GC.

Plumb to EPC flow modules

Purge the supply lines for a few minutes before connecting them
to the GC flow modules.

If sharing carrier gas between an inlet and a detector, we
recommend using a Tee fitting that includes shutoff valves for
performing leak tests.

Detector gases

33 mm = ~ 1 5/16 inches

60 mm = ~ 2 1/4 inches
