The optional external Rheodyne™ MX Series II™ divert/inject valve is a 6-port motorized valve that can switch between two positions. The ports on the valve use the standard fitting (10-32 type) for high-pressure and 1/16 inch outer diameter (OD) tubing.

The following table shows the internal flow paths for the divert/inject valve positions.

NOTE

In the Method Editor, the valve positions are identified as 1–2 (port 1 to port 2) and 1–6 (port 1 to port 6).

Valve position	Description
	In the first position (1–2), the ports are internally connected as follows: Port 1 connects to port 2 Port 3 connects to port 4 port 5 connects to port 6 In the second position (1–6), the valve rotates clockwise one position and connects the ports internally as follows: Port 1 connects to port 6 Port 2 connects to port 3 Port 4 connects to port 5

Valve position

Description

In the first position (1–2), the ports are internally connected as follows:

Port 1 connects to port 2
Port 3 connects to port 4
port 5 connects to port 6

In the second position (1–6), the valve rotates clockwise one position and connects the ports internally as follows:

Port 1 connects to port 6
Port 2 connects to port 3
Port 4 connects to port 5

The divert/inject valve can be plumbed as a loop injector for flow injection analysis or as a divert valve. For more information about the divert/inject valve, see the following topics:
