1. Insert the column into the adapter, detector, or inlet liner until it bottoms.
Tighten the nut finger tight.
2. If you are installing a column directly into the detector fitting:
1/4-inch column, tighten an additional 3/4 turn with a 9/16-inch wrench.
1/8-inch column, tighten an additional 1/4 turn with a 7/16-inch wrench.
3. If you are installing a column onto an adapter:
Tighten the column nut using two wrenches in opposition, one on the column
nut and the other on the liner or adapter body. This prevents the liner or
adapter from rotating while you tighten the column nut.
1/4-inch column, tighten an additional 3/4 turn with a 9/16-inch wrench.
1/8-inch column, tighten an additional 1/4 turn with a 7/16-inch wrench.
4. Establish a flow of carrier gas through the inlet. Heat the oven, inlet, and
detector to operating temperatures. Allow them to cool, and then retighten
the fittings.
