This section contains illustrated parts breakdowns for the following 7890A GC components:
• Oven
• Oven flapper assembly
• CO2 cryogenic cooling
• Liquid nitrogen cryogenic cooling
If your GC has serial number xxxxxxxx or greater, use the new- style valve driver assembly
parts.
If your GC has a serial number less than xxxxxxxxxx, use the old- style valve driver
assembly parts.

The table below lists several valve accessory kits and parts that are useful when installing
valves, valve boxes, and related parts.
G2740A Gas tube plumbing kit This kit contains the hardware needed to G2740A
install any 6 port or 10 port valve into a GC
and build any of the standard
configurations. It does not contain the
valve, automation, loops or needle valves.
G2741A Needle valve kit This kit is needed when the customer G2741A
requires to have a column isolation
configuration built into a GC.
G2742A Downstream capillary port This kit is used to connect the bottom of a G2742A
to valve kit split/splitless capillary injection port
directly to a valve.
G2744A Heated zone kit This kit is needed when adding a third G2744A
heated valve to a GC that already has two
heated valves installed. The heated zone
will allow a 4th valve to be added if
required.
This section contains illustrated parts breakdowns for the following 7890 GC electrical
components.
• AC Power Cords
• AC Power Board
• Analog and Power Board
• Analog Input Board (G1556A Accessory)
