Warning
DO NOT use Teflon/PTFE tape on these connections, as this
will prevent correct sealing. The Gauge Adapter sealing system
is designed for hand-tight sealing up to 20,000 psi / 1,400
bar-wrenches or similar tools are not required — over
tightening can cause damage to threads or sealing faces.
Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to the
test port.
Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean
and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.
Note
The thread on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge adapters is LEFT-HANDED .
The following procedure details the correct method for mounting devices using these
adapters.
1. Screw the appropriate gauge adapter fully on to the instrument to be tested.

2. Screw assembly down COUNTER-CLOCKWISE on to test port.
Note
Hand-tight is sufficient; ensure that the bottom face contacts the O-ring on
the test port.
