Connecting Viper Capillaries
This section describes how to connect Viper™ capillaries. All Viper flow
connections in the Vanquish system are designed to be finger-tight.
To connect Viper capillaries with knurls, follow these steps:
NOTICE
•
Tighten or loosen Viper capillaries
only
with your fingers. Do not use
tools other than the knurl that comes with the capillary.
•
To avoid damage to the capillary or connection, tighten and loosen
the Viper capillaries
only
when the system pressure is down to zero.

Slot
1. Insert the Viper capillary into the connection port.
2. Tighten the connection by the knurl.
TIP
Note the slot in the knurl. For narrow connections, you can easily
remove the knurls from neighboring capillaries through this slot and
attach them again later.
3. Check whether the connection leaks. If leakage exists, follow the
steps further down.
