Restrictor and Column Installation
Install the column
1 Hang the analytical column on the column clips. The clips hold the outside
of the wire “basket” that supports the column. Adjust the clips if necessary.
2 Connect the column to the inlet fitting.
Connect the splitter
1 Connect the restrictors to the connectors on the splitter (Figure 15).
Finger-tighten until just snug, then tighten with a wrench an additional 15°
(Figure 16). Install the back restrictor first.
2 Connect the restrictors to the appropriate detectors.
3 Connect the column exit to the splitter. Tighten as you did the restrictors.
NOTE
Restrictors and the column exit are connected to the splitter assembly using internal nuts
and SilTite ferrules. See “Swaging SilTite Ferrules” on the CD for details.
CAUTION
Arrange the tubing (restrictors and column) so that it does not touch the oven walls.
This could create a cold spot.
