3 Splitter Configurations
Protect the column and restrictors
Column and restrictor tubes with swaged metal ferrules can be disconnected
and reconnected several times. To protect the tubing end, use one of the
brass-sealing caps from the kit. Tighten to finger-tight plus 15 degrees.
Protect the splitter
Seal the ports of the splitter assembly with plugs when the splitter is not
connected. This keeps particulates and contamination out. To make a plug, cut
about 2 inches of the stainless steel wire and swage it as you would a column.
Use the metal ferrule that fits 0.25-mm id columns. After swaging, clip the
wire to within 0.5 mm of the ferrule end with a small high-quality wire cutter.
Leave the excess wire on the other end to serve as a handle when removing the
plug.
