1. Installation of a Click-On Connector
A Click-On connector is available for gas line tubing with OD of 1/4" and
1
/8". These instructions are valid for each dimension of tubing; Restek
advises the use of stainless steel or copper tubing for gas lines, preferably.
1. Shut o the incoming gas.
2. If no trap was previously in use, cut the gas line using an appropriate metal tubing cutter.
3. Disconnect the gas line from the analytical instrument.
4. Turn the carrier gas on and ush the gas line for 2 min with pure car­rier gas; advised pressure: 90 psi.
5. Remove the blue closing plugs at both ends of the trap and connect the Click-On connectors tightly to both ends of the gas line.
6. For stainless steel tubing, always use stainless steel Click-On connectors; for copper tubing, always use brass Click-On connectors.
7. Flush the incoming gas line and connectors for 10 min with pure carrier gas by pushing back the needle valve on the Click-On connector. NOTE: SHARP EDGE!! Advised pressure: 90 psi.
8. Attach Click-On Trap to both Click-On connectors by punching the internal membranes in the traps and tightening the knurled ring clockwise.
9. Install outlet connector rst; then install inlet connector.
10. Flush the trap/whole system for at least 15 min with pure carrier gas; advised pressure: 90 psi (except for He-specic traps; they are already conditioned and need no ush). Do NOT connect the gas line to the analytical instrument yet!
11. Once the purier has been ushed, mount the outgoing carrier gas line to the analytical system and you are ready to go: normally, the user should not see any notable argon or nitrogen peaks in the chromatogram.
12. Check whole system for leaks after installation!
2. Replacement of a Saturated Click-On Purifier
1. A purier cartridge needs to be exchanged when the visual indicators (if applicable) start changing color. The original indicator color and the color after saturation are printed on the front of the purier.
2. For metal traps without an indicator, it is strongly recommended you replace the trap once a year.
3. Before installation of a new replacement trap, make sure that the temperature of the replacement trap is more or less identical to the temperature of the (already installed) Click-On connectors on your gas line to avoid any leakage in connections. If the temperature is not identical, use at least one hour of stabilization time in the same room as the connectors.
NOTE: the data given in the table strongly depend on the level of gas purity prior to entering the purifier.
Replacement of a metal purifier cartridge without an indicator is recommended once a year.

Stainless Steel Click-On Connectors
Click-On Inline Super Clean® puriers are suited for the purication of noncorrosive gases with low contamination concentrations to a better as 6.0 grade (99.99990%) purity. Click-On Inline Super Clean® puriers are connected to an appropriate genuine Click-On connector, which can only be connected to the gas line once.
CAUTION
The maximum concentration of oxygen allowed in the gas before
entering the indicating trap is 0.5%. (Valid only for each purier packed with O2-adsorbents and O2-indicator.)
Maximum gas-maximum system pressure must not exceed 11 bar (160 psi).
Install outlet connector rst; then install inlet connector.
Do not install a purier system near or in a hot area
(i.e., the hot-air exhaust at the rear of the GC).
Never recondition any trap, ever: for eventual recycling, please contact your local supplier.
Always install traps in the appropriate position with the label at the front.
Installation of the connector to the gas line should be done by experienced and/or certied personnel.
Do not forget to perform a reliable leak test, especially when installing an indicating trap.
During installation of a new Click-On Inline Super Clean® indicating purier, torsion on the plastic outer protection tube should be avoided at any time; watch out for cracks in the inside glass tube after installation (valid only for glass Click-On types of traps).
The screws on the outside trap housing on both sides should never be removed; in case these screws should be missing, the cartridge should not be installed; it should be returned to the supplier.
Click-On connectors are available as spare parts – do NOT repair damaged connectors; replace them with new ones.
Only use original parts to avoid malperformance and loss of warranty.
NEVER INSTALL AN OXYGEN PURIFIER IN A GAS LINE FOR AIR: it will result in instant saturation!
NOTE:
• Once the purier is positioned to the Click-On connector, the PTFE seals inside the purier will be punctured, and it is necessary to keep the trap in position by hand to prevent air entering the system.
• After installing the trap to the Click-On connector, highly pure gas will automatically stream from the purier into the analytical system.
• Regularly check both the big and small Viton O-rings on the Click-On connector for hair cracks. The slightest leak may allow moisture, oxygen, and hydrocarbons to enter the system and contaminate the system. Also, check the glass indicating purier cartridge for cracks with a leak detector.
• Indicator color change with moisture adsorbents devices according to EC Directive December 1998.
• All puriers are packed under argon, except for the special, He-specic GC-MS lter.
• As long as there is no trap connected, the special Click-On connector will automatically block the gas stream.
NO GAS WILL PASS THROUGH THE GAS LINE!
