Note Could be necessary to adjust the position of the Tee connector when installing
backflush line, precolumn, and column to stress as minimal as possible.
1. Connect the backflush line metal tube coming from the bottom of the SSLBKF injector
module or PTVBKF injector module to the Tee connector.
Tip The backflush line must be bent as required by the position of the Tee connector
on the mounting bracket.
a. Slide the retaining nut and the 1.0 mm graphite ferrule onto the end of the backflush
line with the beveled end facing towards the Tee connector. Be careful to avoid
damaging the graphite ferrule when inserting the tube.
b. Shortly activate the backflush with carrier open to eliminate possible graphite pieces
before connecting the Tee connector.
c. Insert the backflush line into the Tee connector.
d. Finger-tighten the retaining nut until it starts to grip the backflush line.
