Agilent 1200 Series Autosampler Reference Manual

Repairing the Autosampler

Rotor Seal

Frequency

Poor injection-volume reproducibility
Leaking injection valve

Tools required

1/4 inch wrench (supplied in accessory kit).
Hex key, 9/64 inch (supplied in accessory kit).

Parts required

Rotor seal 0100-1853 (Vespel) for G1329A
Rotor seal 0100-1849 (Tefzel) for G1329A
Rotor seal 0101-1268 (PEEK) for G2260A

Preparations for this
procedure

Remove front cover.
Remove the leak tubing (if necessary).

C A U T I O N

The stator face is held in place by the stator head. When removing the stator head,
ensure the stator face does not fall out of the valve.

1 Remove all capillary fittings from the injection-valve ports.

2 Loosen each fixing bolt two turns at a time. Remove the

bolts from the head.
