Removing the Particle Filter’s Tubing Stub, if Necessary
A short tubing stub comes factory installed in the particle filter. It is used for connecting the particle filter to
the inlet fitting. If you have installed the particle filter and no longer want it installed, you will need to
remove the particle filter’s tubing stub from the inlet fitting and replace it with tubing.
Figure 6: Inlet Fitting with Tubing Stub
CAUTION:
Do not pull the tubing stub downward to remove it.
1. Remove the particle filter from its tubing stub.
2. Unscrew the outside inlet fitting tube nut from the fitting body. The tubing stub should come out with
the tube nut. Be careful not to lose the O-ring that may come out with the tubing stub. If you do lose
the O-ring or if it is damaged, see “Parts List” on page 20 for the spare part number.
3. Push the tubing stub up and out of the front ferrule being careful not to lose the ferrule set. If you do
lose the ferrule set or if it is damaged, see “Parts List” on page 20 for the spare part numbers.
4. Push the new tubing up through the inlet fitting tube nut and replace the ferrule set and the O-ring, if
it came out, in the orientation shown in Figure 6.
5. Screw the inlet fitting tube nut back onto the fitting body. See “Connecting the Sample Lines to the
Sample-Draw Detector” on page 8 for instructions to install a new piece of tubing into the fitting.
