the test port.
3. To adjust the position to face forward, hold the gauge adapter and turn the instrument
4. Hold the instrument steady, while turning the gauge adapter

Connect the Test Port Insert

For devices with 1/8 BSP or NPT mounting threads, the diameter of the thread is very
close to the effective sealing diameter of the O-ring fitted to the test port.
This can make it difficult to achieve a good seal. When mounting these devices, use the
test port insert (stored in the spare seals container) as shown Figure 2.
