Hello, this is the purge valve you have installed on the head of the pump? If yes, I usually never change the gold seal, but I only take it out for the ptfe frit change, then I'm reistalling the same gold seal.
If the leak is on
A : replace the nut and the tubing
B : probably the gold seal is not perfectly adapted, change it again.
B "MacGyver version" : use teflon on the thread...at least you won't see any drop
Alway, never overtight it, it get stuff worse.
Hope you solve the problem.
Hi!!
Yes it looks like this!
Now the valve is ok and there’s no more leak, maybe now the frit is soaked by the mobile phase and fits better?!
Thanks!!
