• Use 1/16-in fittings (P/N 052230) and ferrules (P/N 062511) for connections
between the vacuum degassing assembly and the injection valve.
• Use 1/8-in fittings (P/N 052267) and ferrules (P/N 048949) for connections to
eluent reservoirs.
• Use double-cone 10-32 ferrule fittings (P/N 043276) and 10-32 bolts
(P/N 043275) for all other tubing connections. For tightening requirements,
refer to Installation of Dionex Liquid Line Fittings (Document No. 031432).
The manual is on the Dionex Reference Library CD-ROM (P/N 053891).
Use a tubing cutter to cut tubing to the required length. Make sure the cut is at a
right angle to the length of the tubing and there are no nicks or burrs on the end. A
tubing cutter (P/N 049584) is included in the DC Ship Kit (P/N 062614, dual; P/N
063408, single). Refer to the instructions provided with the cutter.
9.2 Cleaning Eluent Reservoirs
Before preparing new eluent, all eluent reservoirs should be rinsed thoroughly
(inside and out) with ASTM Type I (18 megohm-cm) filtered and deionized water.
If a reservoir still appears dirty, or has a slimy film on the inside, clean it as
instructed below.
1. Dispose of any remaining chemicals according to municipal regulations.
2. Rinse the reservoir (inside and out) with ASTM Type I (18 megohm-cm)
filtered and deionized water.
3. Rinse the inside of the reservoir with isopropyl alcohol or methanol.
