Installing Fittings and Capillaries

WARNING

Solvent can spray under high pressure.

• Observe appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing), when opening flow path.

CAUTION

Deformation of fittings and seals

Liquid drops under high pressure act like solid parts. Tightening connections under high pressure can deform or destroy fittings and seals.

• Never tighten flow connections under pressure.

NOTE

The lifetime of a fitting depends on how firmly it has been tightened; firm tightening reduces the lifetime.

If fitting has been overtightened, replace it.
