Pressure Pulse Gun – Gauge Quick-connects
Quick-connects are a useful accessory for applications that require quick-coupling and change-
out of gauges on the Pressure Pulse Gun.
A high-pressure gauge allows the operator to get a quick check of shot size in higher pressure
wells. A low-pressure gauge allows a check of casing pressure in low pressure situations. The quick-
connects allow an operator to use a more accurate gauge for each situation. Also, the gauges rotate freely
for easy viewing in any wellbore situation, from any angle.
To Couple the Quick-connect: Align stem with
body. Push stem into body until it clicks. (See
left photo.)
To Uncouple the Quick-connect: Pull the body
sleeve on the quick-connect toward the stem (in
other words, pull the sleeve away from the gun).
(See right photo.)
Warning: System pressure must not exceed 250 psig (17.2) bar at 70 °°°° F (20 °°°° C) when coupling and
uncoupling this product. When uncoupling single-end shutoff quick-connects, system pressure on
the stem side will vent to atmosphere.
Good practices for operations of Swagelok Quick-connects
• Align bodies and stems when coupling or uncoupling.
• Support hanging hoses or other equipment to prevent side load.
• Re-lubricate stem seal o-rings periodically.
Caution: Do not rotate gauge when coupled. Do not insert foreign objects into uncoupled bodies or
stems.
