5. Attach the short:
a. Without turning the airline or the short, connect the airline to the
short by interconnecting the male and female connectors. Connect
the nut finger tight. Do not overtighten.
b. Using an open-end wrench to keep the device body from rotating,
use the torque wrench recommended for use with this kit to tighten
the connecting nut to the specified torque. Refer to “Final
Connection Using a Torque Wrench” on page 17 for additional
information.
c. Remove the protective end cap from the male end of the airline.
d. Carefully press the male end of the center conductor lightly against
a firm flat object to seat the center conductor into the short.
6. Gage the airline (refer to Figure 3-5 ):
a. While holding the gage by the barrel, and without turning the gage
or the airline, connect the gage to the airline by interconnecting the
male and female connectors. Connect the nut finger tight. Do not
overtighten.
b. Using an open-end wrench to keep the device body from rotating,
use the torque wrench recommended for use with this kit to tighten
the connecting nut to the specified torque. Refer to “Final
Connection Using a Torque Wrench” on page 17 for additional
information.
c. Gently tap the barrel of the gage with your finger to settle the gage
reading.
Do not allow either the center or outer conductor of the airline to come in
contact with a metal or harder surface. The soft gold plating can be
displaced, changing the pin depth and thus the performance of the airline.
