Installation with open-ended spanner
For sealing the pressure gauge connections with parallel threads, use flat gaskets, lens-
type sealing rings or WIKA profile sealings at the sealing face
(e.g. NPT thread), sealing is made in the thread
PTFE tape (EN 837-2).
The torque depends on the sealing used. In order to orientate the measuring instrument so
that it can be read as well as possible, a connection with clamp socket or union nut should
be used.
