Figure 28 Orientation of the Double Taper Ferrule
Figure 29 Positioning the Upper Tube in the Union Fitting
8Approximately 1.5 cm of the large ceramic tube should extend above the top of the quartz heater assembly. Slide a 1/4" Swagelok nut over the large ceramic tube and then also slide a 1/4" ferrule over the tube (flat side on back of the nut).
9Holding the splitter fitting, gently insert the upper ceramic tube into the large ceramic tube coaxially, to avoid placing stress on the fragile upper ceramic tube. Lower the splitter fitting into place to engage the threads of the 1/4" Swagelok nut. Tighten
10To begin the final alignment and tightening, use a 7/16" wrench and 5/16" wrench to tighten the 1/4" Burner adapter
11Using a 5/8" wrench on the heater swivel nut and a 1/2" wrench on one of the flats of the tapered union fitting, tighten the heater swivel nut
