5.6.3.3 Connecting Non-Viper Capillaries
To connect capillaries with conventional fitting connections (using
ferrules) (non-Viper), follow these steps:
1. Insert the capillary into the connection port.
2. Tighten the connection with a wrench (wrench size: 1/4").
NOTICE
Overtightening may damage the connection. With a torque wrench, the
torque should not exceed 3 Nm (for steel capillaries).
3. Check whether the connection leaks. If leakage exists, follow the
steps further down.
Resolving Leakage with Conventional Fitting Connections
1. Remove the capillary.
2. Clean the connection port with a cleaning swab.
3. Reinstall the capillary.
4. If the connection continues to leak, install a new capillary.
NOTICE
To avoid increased dead volume, leakage, or damage to the system,
reuse fittings and ferrules only for the same capillary connection.
