Replacing the Nebulizer Argon Tubing (Cross-Flow End Cap,
N0770546
)
If you replace the argon tubing with new tubing, you will need to replace the
Swagelok nut as follows. See the previous figure.
1. Using a razor blade, make a straight cut on one end of the tubing. Wire cutters
or scissors do not make acceptable cuts.
2. Put the 1/8-in. Swagelok nut (Part No. 09903128), rear ferrule, front ferrule, and
tubing insert onto the tubing as shown in the figure below.
3. Finger-tighten the nut on the Brass Reducer Fitting.
4. Connect the nebulizer argon tubing to the NEB connection. Using a wrench,
tighten the 1/8-in. nut an additional 3/4 turn.
