Restrictor and Column Installation

Install the column

1Hang 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.
2Connect the column to the inlet fitting.

Connect the splitter

1Connect 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.
2Connect the restrictors to the appropriate detectors.
3Connect 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.
