  • Page 14 Installing a Thermal Conductivity Detector on a 6850 Gas Chromatograph WARNING The gas line labelled H is plumbed to the hydrogen supply. Be sure to plug this line to prevent accidental release of hydrogen gas into the instrument. The A and H gas lines are not used with the TC detector. If they are not already plugged, plug them with the brass plugs and push them down into the space under the manifold fittings.
