Insert the GC column through the 1/16” adaptor sealing nut and a standard 1/16” graphite or graphite-Vespel capillary ferrule. Make a clean cut across the GC column. Install the column into the adaptor 30-32 mm from the bottom of the 1/16” nut, which places the column end a few millimeters above the bottom of the inlet seal, the perfect installation distance! Don’t forget to leak check with a Restek Electronic Leak Detector (cat.# 28500) after tightening the adaptor nut to seal the GC column to the inlet and re-pressurizing the inlet.
Seat the column sealing nut so that
the bottom is 30-32 mm from
the end of the column.
Insert the column into the adaptor fitting.
Tighten the sealing nut onto the adaptor fitting.
