RK 19492 

(UL Listed Shut-off Valve Kit)

The T-handle vacuum gauge 
monitors your filters condition. 
As your filter slowly becomes 
clogged with contaminates, 
restriction (resistance to flow) 
increases. Because of this 
restriction, more air is mixed 
with fuel and less fuel is 
delivered to the engine (fuel de-
gassing). This will result in loss 
of power and eventually stall the 
engine.

Installing a T-handle vacuum 
gauge in your fuel system gives 
you a visual monitor of your filter 
condition. Excessive resistance 
on the gauge means it’s time to 
change the filter.

RK23262 T-handle Vacuum Gauge

The RK 19492 UL Listed 
Shut-off Valve Kit may be 
retrofitted to fit most Racor 
Marine Fuel Filter/Water 
Separators to simplify draining 
contaminants from the 
collection bowl.

•   Simple open/close valve for 

easy contaminant evacuation.

•  1/4

˝

 NPT threads on Valve and 

Plug. 

•  Coast Guard accepted in most 

diesel applications with use of 
supplied plug.
