It\u2019s easy and essentially the same as installing a standard seal on the Agilent GC inlet. Instructions are included with the seals, but here are the basic steps. Note that you will need to replace the original Agilent inlet fitting with a Flip Seal reducing nut adaptor fitting (cat.# 23406<\/a>), if this has not already been done. To install the seal, first remove the nut warmer cup and inlet fitting. Next place a Flip Seal inlet seal in the bottom of the adaptor fitting and screw the fitting onto the bottom of the Agilent split\/splitless inlet until hand-tight. Tighten the fitting only an additional \u00bc turn with a \u00bd\u201d wrench; the dual Vespel seal does not require extensive tightening. Finally, reinstall the nut warmer cup over the adaptor fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
