Install traps
1 Determine where you will install the traps in your supply tubing line. Figure 9 shows the
recommended trap order for the carrier gas and the recommended locations for On/Off
valves. Also see the Site Preparation Guide.

2 Cut the tubing to length with a tubing cutter.
3 Connect the traps and tubing. On/Off valves are not essential, but are very useful when a
tank or trap must be changed. (If purchasing Agilent compliance services, install an on/off
valve for each inlet gas supply.)
Plumb to EPC flow modules
Inlet and detector EPC flow modules are mounted very close together across the back of the
GC. See Figure 10.
