Action Step
Cut the new tubing to the same length as the old tubing. Use a tubing cutter to get a
straight angle cut. 4
CAUTION
Cut injuries. The tubing cutter is very sharp and must be handled with
care to avoid injuries.
Note:
When replacing system tubing, use the original inner diameter and length to ensure that
the correct delay volumes are maintained. Inlet and outlet tubing may be shortened if re-
quired.
Put the old labels on the new tubing. 5
Mount the connectors on the tubing. 6
For fingertight connectors:
• Slide the connector onto the tubing.
For tubing connectors 1/8":
• Slide the connector onto the tubing.
• Slide the ferrule onto the tubing with the thick end towards the end of the tubing.
Insert the tubing with connector into the port. Make sure to insert the tubing all the way
into the bottom of the port. 7
Tighten the connector fully. For areas difficult to access, use the fingertight wrench in-
cluded in the accessory kit. 8
