For details on necessary capillaries and fittings, see the part section of the manual.
Slide the fitting on the capillary. Let the capillary jut out 5 mm.
Insert the fitting to the receiving port and push the capillary to the bottom of the port.
Finger tighten the nut into the port until snug.
Use 5043-0915 (Fitting mounting tool) or a 5 mm hex wrench for fixing the fitting (maximum torque 0.8 Nm).
CAUTION
Potential damage of capillaries
- Do not remove fittings from used capillaries.
When using UHP-FF fittings with bio-inert capillaries, do not try to remove fittings from these capillaries. Bio-inert capillaries are using a PEEK front end, which may expand under pressure especially when being in contact with some organic solvents. If a fitting is moved across an expanded PEEK end, there is a risk of damaging the capillary by ripping off its end. Before re-installing such capillaries, push the ferrule towards the rear site for a small distance.
