Using a Swagelok Tee
To supply gas from a single source to more than one input,
use a Swagelok Tee.
Materials needed:
• 1/8- inch preconditioned copper tubing
• Tubing cutter
• 1/8- inch Swagelok nuts and front and back ferrules
• 1/8- inch Swagelok Tee
• Two 7/16- inch wrenches
• 1/8- inch Swagelok cap (optional)
1 Cut the tubing where you want to install the Tee. Connect
the tubing and Tee with a Swagelok fitting. See Figure 31.

2 Measure the distance from the Tee to the instrument
fittings. Attach copper tubing to the open Tee ends with
Swagelok fittings.
Do not combine valve actuator air with flame ionization air. The valve
action will cause major upsets in the detector signal.
