4.0 SYSTEM PLUMBING
This chapter discusses recommended plumbing practices and provides general guidelines for system setup.
The system will work more efficiently if tubing lengths are as short as possible. Bio-Rad provides precut and
1/4-28 fitted, labeled tubing in the Fittings Kit. The illustration below shows where the tubing is designed to
be connected. Discussion of how to create your own tubing can be found in the following section.
Use 1/16” (1.6 mm) OD PEEK tubing and 1/4-28 fittings. Use orange PEEK 0.020” (0.51 mm) ID tubing for
the F10 pumps, and green PEEK 0.030” (0.76 mm) ID tubing for the F40 pumps. Premade tubing kits are
provided with your Fittings kit.
