To Attach the Transfer Line to a Volatiles Interface
1 Gather the following:
• Lint- free gloves
• One 7/16- inch wrench
• Two 5/16- inch wrenches
• Capillary column cutter (5181- 8836)
• Appropriate sized SilTite ferrule (for 250- , 320- , or
530- um transfer line diameters)
• Capillary Column Pre- Swaging Tool (G4556- 67018)
2 Cool the GC inlet to a safe handling temperature.
3 Cool the GC oven to room temperature to prevent column
damage. Then turn off the carrier gas.
4 Install the transfer line to the 6 port valve. See “To Install
a Fused Silica Column into the Transfer Line”.
5 Slide the transfer line nut (G2319- 20210) onto the tubing.
6 Install a SilTite ferrule and make a SilTite connection as
described below. Refer to Table 3 and use the SilTite
ferrule appropriate for your transfer line.
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with
dirt and skin oils.
Be careful! The oven and/or inlet may be hot enough to cause
burns. If either is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your
hands.
