TIP Components or connections in the flow path to other system
modules may be closed with plugs to protect the component or
connection during transport.
When you remove the plugs to connect the device in the system, keep
the plugs. You may need them to close the connections again, for
example, for future transport.
Follow these steps
To set up the additional flow connections and complete the installation,

5.6.2 Guiding Capillaries and Tubing Through the System
Flow connections between the modules of the Vanquish system are
guided through either the tubing chase in the devices or the guide holes
or capillary clips of the devices.
Tubing Chase, Tubing Guide, Tubing Bracket
To guide certain tubing and lines (solvent tubing, wash liquid tubing,
detector waste line) from the top module to the bottom module in the
Vanquish system stack, the stackable modules have a tubing chase on
the inside right.
The tubing chase provides four tubing guides. Each guide can hold up to
three tubing or lines.
In each module, push the tubing (or line) into the appropriate guide.
