• FPD capillary column adapter (See “Consumables and

• Column cutter
• 1/4- inch wrench
• 9/16- inch wrench
• Metric ruler
• 1/8- inch nut
• Lint- free gloves
2 Load the GC maintenance method and wait for the GC to
become ready.
3 Insert the capillary adapter into the 1/8- inch nut as
shown, then thread the nut onto the detector fitting.
Be careful! The oven and/or detector may be hot enough to cause
burns. If the detector is hot, wear gloves to protect your hands.
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.
Wear clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination of parts with
dirt and skin oils.
