Step 7. Attaching tubing to the inlet manifold
If your GC has EPC inlets, attach the tubing for the gas supply to the inlets on
the manifolds on the rear of the instrument. Plumbing for non-EPC inlets
connects inside the pneumatics carrier on the left side of the GC.
Materials needed:
❐ 1/8-inch preconditioned copper tubing
❐ 1/8-inch
SWAGELOK nuts and front and back ferrules
❐ Two 7/16-inch wrenches
1. Turn the carrier gas off at its source.
2. Connect the gas supply tubing to the inlet carrier gas manifold with a
SWAGELOK nut. See Figure 13.

The GC in this figure has the front and back inlets plumbed with the same carrier gas.
