2.4.2 STEP 4B - TEFLON OR STAINLESS STEEL CONNECTION KIT
Step 4B is specifically for the Teflon or the Stainless Steel Connection Kit.
1. Assembling the fittings
The procedure is basically the same for stainless steel as for teflon tubing. It is advised to
clean the chip holder before assembling, and in particular the fitting assembly hole (port
no. 11). Particles can damage the ferrule. Before cleaning the chip holder, separate the top
from the bottom part using the Allen key.
For the assembly, slide the nut, steel compression ring and ferrule (in that order) onto the
tubing. The flattened end of the ring should face towards the nut with the narrow end of the
ferrule towards the ring (Figure 2.10). For the untrained eye it can be hard to determine
which side is narrower, so double check if you are not sure. The metal ring should be pushed
onto the ferrule, in that way ensuring concentricity of ferrule and ring (Figure 2.11).
Figure 2.10. Fittings order Figure 2.11. Ensure concentricity of
compression ring and ferrule
Press the tubing and ferrule to the bottom of the fitting assembly hole (port number 11) in
the chip holder while tightening down the nut (Figure 2.12). Tighten comfortably finger-
tight. You may use the extender tool to tighten some more, however be sure not to over
tighten the ferrule.
