the copper tubing as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10. Components of a 1/8-in. tubing connection.
6. Insert one end of the tubing with the nut and ferrules into the end fitting of a suitable
line filter (see Table 1), and insert the other end into the regulator outlet fitting or the
end fitting of the hydrogen snubber.
7. Insert the tubing into the fitting so that the tubing bottoms firmly, then tighten the nut
½-turn past finger-tight.
8. Cut a piece of 1/8-in. copper tubing long enough to connect the filter to the Clarus 500
GC. To allow for future instrument movement, cut the tubing 2 – 3 ft longer than
necessary.
