Plumbing the detector
2-17
a. Use a Waters 1/16-inch stainless steel tubing cutter or a file with a
cutting edge to scribe the circumference of the tubing at the desired
break point.
b. Grasp the tubing on both sides of the scribed mark with cloth- or
plastic-covered pliers (to prevent marring the surface), then gently
work the tubing back and forth until it separates.
c.
File the tubing ends smooth and straight to minimize dead volume
and band broadening.
4. Assemble a reusable finger-tight fitting at both ends of the column outlet
line and at one end of the detector outlet line.

5. Seat one end of the column outlet tubing in the fitting of the column
outlet, finger-tighten the reusable finger-tight fitting until it is snug,
and then add a quarter-turn.
6. Seat the other end of the tubing in the fitting of the detector inlet, then
tighten the reusable finger-tight fitting as in step 5.
7. Seat the end of the detector outlet tubing with the reusable finger-tight
fitting in the detector outlet fitting, finger-tighten the fitting until it is
snug, and then add a quarter-turn. Insert the other end of the tubing in
the waste container.
Caution:
To avoid damage to the flow cell, avoid pressures
approaching its maximum allowable pressure, 6895 kPa (69 bar,
1000 psi) (70 kg/cm

).
