Gauging and Making Connections
Zeroing Connector Gauges
3. Zero the connector gauge:
a. While holding the gauge by the barrel, use the connecting knurl
to screw on the gauge master just until you feel resistance.
b. Use the appropriate torque wrench to tighten the connecting nut
of the gauge master.
c. As you watch the gauge pointer, gently tap the barrel of the gauge
to settle the reading. The gauge pointer should line up exactly
with the zero mark on the gauge. If not, clean and inspect both
the gauge and gauge master. If the gauge and gauge master are
clean and free from defects, adjust the zero set knob until the
gauge pointer lines up exactly with zero.
