3. Set aside the 1/8" wrench and completely remove the adapter from the
column inlet.
4. Screw the packed column adapter into the column inlet by hand. Exercise
caution, as the tip of the adapter is very fragile. Then tighten the adapter
with a 1/4" wrench, using an additional wrench on the flats of the column
inlet to support the detector.
5. Connect the 1/8" column to the packed column adapter with the EZRU21
reducing union supplied in the fittings kit.
Testing for Leaks
It is critical for the system to be leak-tight, and an additional check at this
point can save many headaches later on. To test for leaks:
1. Cap the tube and pressurize the entire system with helium to 138 kPa
(20 psi).
2. If the system does not hold pressure, check all the fittings with an
electronic helium leak detector. DO NOT use leak detecting liquids.
3. Tighten fittings as required.
