Gas Connections
To connect the gas lines to the back of the Orbitrap Fusion Series MS, follow the next
procedure. Make sure that the ultra-high-purity (UHP) and high-purity (HP) supply gases are
delivered with the necessary pressure and purity as listed in
Table 2 .

Note
Connections and gas delivery systems might vary. You are responsible for supplying
any additional fittings or connections necessary during installation. If your system
includes additional devices that require their own gas connections, refer to those
instruments’ manuals.
CAUTION You must use either copper (provided) or stainless steel for the UHP gas lines.
CAUTION After completing these connections, route the tubing so that they are not a trip
hazard.
