The Filter Kit (P/N G3535-60008) is recommended as a prefilter for the Agilent Gasifier. The filter
kit contains Filter Assy (filter body and 7µm sintered filter element), 1/8-inch SST Tube with
1/16-inch Reducer, UltiMetal Coating SST Tube, and Ferrule Set & Nut.
Whenever possible, remove particulate contaminants from samples introduced to the Gasifier.

Agilent advises replacement of the external filter unit at regular intervals (an orderable sintered
filter element P/N: 3150-0404). To install the sintered filter element, the male part of the Filter Assy
must be hand-tightened into the female part of the Filter Assy, followed by a 1/8 turn with a
9/16-inch wrench. Orient the arrow on the female part of the filter towards the sample inlet.
