Restek Product Instruction Sheet -- ECD/FID Make-up Gas Kit
4. Remove any existing make-up gas fittings or any inserts inside the 1/4" detector port.
5. Route the 1/16" line through an existing oven hole to the variable flow outlet. If no hole exists,
one will have to be drilled. Be sure to drill the hole in a place away from existing lines or
electronics. Before pushing the tubing through the insulation, place a plastic cap or a piece of tape
over the tubing end.
6. Connect the 1/16" line to the variable flow restrictor gas outlet fitting.
7. Insert the Silcosteel® guide (item 6). (Omit the Silcosteel guide if an FID will be used.) Connect
the 1/4" make-up gas fitting (item 1) to the detector port using the 1/4" nut and ferrule (items 2 &
3) provided.
8. Cap off the column connection to the detector and leak-check all connections with Restek's Leak
Detective (cat.# 21607) or an equivalent leak detector. After confirming that all fittings are leakfree,
adjust the variable flow restrictor to set the make-up gas flow as indicated in the instrument
manual.
9. Install the column using the 1/16" nut and ferrule (items 4 & 5) according to the procedure
outlined in your instrument manual and Restek's Capillary Column Installation Guide.
* We highly recommend using our heat treated instrument grade SS tubing (cat.# 21512) for plumbing
the make-up gas system to avoid the possibility of contamination.
