ADS 2 Tubing Installation

This video provides instructions on how to install all tubing onto an ADS 2 and the ICP-OES. Tubing replacement is required if the tubing has been damaged or when replacing the switching valve, stator or rotor. Instructions are also provided below.

Do not use a wrench to tighten fittings onto the valves. Secure the fittings finger-tight only. Always run the Advanced Dilution System 2 test after replacing tubing.  

Overview

Tubing legend and instruction links:

1. Waste flow to Valve C connection with green label tubing, part number 5005-0103

2. Plug, part number G8457-42001 in ports 1 and 7 (not shown)

A barrier plug, part number G8457-42000, is installed in Port 2 (not shown) for use in bubble injection.

Supplied plugs will look different to those shown in this video.

 3. ADS 2 to the AVS connection with orange label tubing, part number G8457-68001 4. Sample flow to Valve A connection with black label tubing, part number 5005-0102
5. Diluent and carrier flow to Valve A connection with black label tubing, part number 5005-0102 6. From the autosampler probe 7. Dilution loop 8. and 10. Diluent and carrier flow connection to Valve B with black label tubing, part number 5005-0102
9. and 11. Diluent and Carrier tubing to containers with yellow label, part number 5005-0105 12. ADS 2 to the AVS pump connection with purple label tubing, part number 5005-0106 13. Waste flow from the AVS to Valve C on the ADS 2 connection with purple label tubing, part number 5005-0106 14. Waste tubing, part number 5005-0104, and barbed fitting, part number 5023-1517
