Making plumbing connections
Installing solvent inlet tubes
Required materials
• Solvent inlet tubes assembly (part number 430000573)
• 1/2-inch wrench
Recommendation: Perform a dry prime before making the initial plumbing
connections (see page 2-18).
To make the initial plumbing connections:
1. Using a 1/2-inch wrench, loosen the solvent inlet fitting on the manifold.
2. Slide the nut and ferrule retainer, followed by the ferrule (small end
toward the end of the tube) onto the solvent tube.
3. Press the tube all the way into the fitting and tighten the nut using the
1/2-inch wrench. Tighten the fitting 3/4 of a turn beyond finger tight.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the remaining solvent tubes.
Caution: Check all fittings and tighten if necessary. The fittings
can loosen during shipment, particularly if the module has
undergone temperature extremes.
