Installing a Gauge Head

The WHT is designed to interface to industry standard gauge heads.
The standard WHT unit will interface directly to an M10 x1 threaded gauge head; M6 x0.75 and threaded gauge heads of other
sizes require the use of an adapter.
Caution
Ensure the screw thread of both the WHT and gauge head are clean before
assembly.
1. To assemble the WHT and gauge head, insert and screw the gauge head
in to the front of the WHT by hand, as above.
2. Using a 13 mm spanner, grip the WHT head adapter across the flats.
3. Use a suitably sized spanner to grip the gauge head and tighten the thread to a
maximum torque of 5 Nm.
Caution
It is essential to use a spanner to hold the WHT when tightening the gauge head to avoid damaging the hand tool.
Exceeding the maximum torque on the WHT and gauge head assembly can cause damage to both components.
