The butt-seal in Agilent’s MSD interface also seals the MSD source to the
capillary column. This system is prone to leakage. Restek’s MSD conver-
sion fitting is designed with two separate seals to reduce the chance of
leaks: a crunch washer seals the MSD conversion fitting to the source,
and a ferrule seals the capillary tubing to the conversion fitting.

MSD Source Nut
The nut bore has been changed from 0.8mm to 1.2mm to permit easy removal
of ferrules with a standard tapered-needle file (cat.# 20106). The nuts match
the manufacturer’s original part specifications and are made of brass to pre-
vent thread-stripping on the transfer line.
(Similar to Agilent part # 05988-20066.)

Install the nut and ferrule
onto the column, then
insert the column through
the installation tool, expos-
ing several centimeters at
the exit end.
Tighten the nut.
Score and remove the
exposed end of the col-
umn making sure of a
clean, square cut, then
loosen the nut.
The ferrule will be
properly seated and
should remain in place
when light force is
applied. Install the col-
umn into the GC/MS
interface.
