NOTE 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.
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
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
additional information.
c. Gently tap the barrel of the gage with your finger to settle the gage reading.

d. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the temperature to stabilize. Do not touch the
airline, short, or gage during this time as your body temperature will affect the
temperature of the devices.
The gage reading should be within the pin depth specifications listed in
page 2-4. Remember, the gage is intended for coarse measurements only and has an
accuracy of ±0.0001 in.
