Installing a Capillary Column into the PTV Inlet
1. Position the column so it extends 17 mm above the end of the ferrule.
Mark the column behind the ferrule with correction fluid or a marker. Slide the nut
over the column.
2. Insert the column into the adapter and finger tighten the column nut. Looking through
the slot in the nut, adjust the column until the mark is correctly positioned below the
Graphpak 2M ferrule.
3. Tighten the column nut an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn with a wrench.
Do not overtighten.
