Maintaining Your GC 27
To Install Capillary Column Clips
1 Gather the following:
• Capillary column clip kit (see “Consumables and Parts for
Columns” on page 24.)
• T-20 Torx screwdriver
2 Loosen the four corner mounting screws, but do not remove.
3 Slip each corner screw through the large hole on the clip.
4 Slide the clip so that the screw is positioned in the slot.
5 Tighten the screws enough to hold the clips in place. Once
the column is installed, fully tighten the four corner screws
to secure the clips and column to the oven wall.
WARNING
Be careful! The oven may be hot enough to cause burns. If the
oven is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles
while handling, cutting, or installing glass or fused silica capillary
columns. Use care in handling these columns to prevent puncture
wounds.
