Connecting the Solvent Line to the Solvent Reservoir
Figure 19: Preparing the solvent line and reservoir cap
No. Description
1 Solvent line
2 Retaining guide
3 Reservoir cap
4 Cap plugs
5 Solvent line filter
1. Feed each solvent line through a retaining guide.
2. Feed the solvent line through an open hole in a cap for a solvent
reservoir. The retaining guide keeps the solvent line in place in the
reservoir.
3. Close any open holes in the reservoir caps with the cap plugs.
4. Slide a filter holder onto each solvent line.
5. Fill the solvent reservoirs with solvent, observing the guidelines and
recommendations in Use of Solvents and Additives ( } page 92) .
Before using a solvent reservoir for the first time, rinse the
reservoirs thoroughly. Use a high-purity solvent for rinsing.
6. Tighten the reservoir cap hand-tight. Press the retaining guide into
the hole in the reservoir cap to ensure that the tubing is kept in
place in the cap.
7. Place the solvent reservoirs in the solvent rack. Position the solvent
lines straight in the tubing guides.
8. Optional: Install shut off valves in the solvent lines (see Installing
Solvent Shut Off Valves ( } page 69) ).
