Gently push the liner removal tool
onto the liner in the injection port
with a slight circular motion. This
will ensure that the removal tool has
a firm grip on the liner.
Slowly pull the liner out of the injec-
tion port in a straight vertical
motion.
Use the liner removal tool to place a
new liner into the injection port,
carefully avoiding hot metal surfaces.

The inlet seal at the base of a split/splitless
injector allows a seal to form between the injec-
tion port and the inlet liner. This inlet seal wears
over time and may become scratched or pitted,
which compromises the sealing ability of the
injector. The new Restek injection port repair tool
allows the user to easily resurface the inlet seal
and remove contaminants; and it saves time and
money by preventing unwanted leaks.
If the tubing doesn’t
fall off on its own, it
should easily break at
the score with a slight
tap of the wafer. If it
doesn’t, score again.
Check the cut against
the white of the scor-
ing wafer for a clean,
square cut.
Hold tubing firmly in
one hand, allowing
about two inches to
extend freely for safe
cutting. Hold the
scoring wafer at a
45° angle to the tub-
ing Exert slight pres-
sure—just enough to
put a slight arc in the
tubing. Pull perpen-
dicularly across the
tubing. Move your whole arm, not just your hand.
This will help ensure a square, consistent score.
