Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 Can I reuse the ferrules?

A1 Once the ferrule is crimped onto the tubing using the ferrule installation tool, the fitting is permanent. However, the column can be removed and reinserted multiple times without tools.

Q2 Can I break my column if overtighten the nut?

A2 No - with the SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite system you cannot generate enough force with your fingers to break the column. Never use pliers or any other tool on the nut or you will possibly damage the adapter as well as break the column.

Q3 Can I touch the nut even when the oven is at 200 ºC?

A3 No - the nut will be at the oven temperature so it will be too hot to touch. However, the nut is designed to dissipate the heat from the injector/detector/transfer line, so that when the oven is cool you can change the column without waiting for the injector/detector to cool down. For Mass Spectrometers always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to vent the system.

Q4 Can I reuse the SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite nuts?

A4 Yes, the nuts can be reused although the nuts will be permanently fixed to the column with the ferrule. Spare nuts can be purchased if more are required.

Q5 What’s included in the starter kit?

A5 Each starter kit includes all the parts necessary to convert one GC system (one injector and one detector) to the SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite system suitable for installing 0.1 - 0.25 mm ID capillary columns. In addition there are 5 SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite nuts, one packet (10 ferrules) of 0.4 mm ID SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite ferrules and a ferrule install tool which allows you to seat the ferrule in the correct position on the capillary column.

Q6 Can I use any dimension of GC capillary column?

A6 SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite is suitable for any GC capillary column of nominal ID 0.1 - 0.25 mm (0.4 mm ID SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite ferrule) and 0.32 mm (0.5 mm ID SilTiteâ„¢ FingerTite ferrule).
