5 Maintaining the Purged Packed Inlet
To Install an Adapter on the Purged Packed Inlet
1 Gather the following:
• Brass tubing nut (see “Consumables and Parts for the
Purged Packed Inlet” on page 60.)
• Adapter (0.53 mm, 1/8-inch packed, or 1/4-inch packed)
• 7/16-inch and 9/16-inch wrench
• Vespel/graphite ferrule
• Methanol
• Lint-free gloves
2 Load the inlet maintenance method and wait for the GC to
become ready.
3 Clean the end of the adapter with a lint-free cloth and
methanol to remove contamination such as fingerprints.
4 Place the tubing nut and Vespel/graphite ferrule on the
adapter.
WARNING
Be careful! The oven and/or inlet may be hot enough to cause
burns. If the inlet is hot, wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your
hands.

Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with
dirt and skin oils.
