Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System
Air Restriction Indicator
There are several types of restriction indicators which
can be mounted in certain locations, such as on the air
cleaner duct or on/above the instrument panel. The air
restriction indicator mounted on the instrument panel
permits continuous monitoring of the gauge.
When either the flag or piston-type restriction gauge is
mounted directly on the air cleaner, the piston is usually
drawn downward into view as the element loads with dirt.
It locks into full view only after the restriction (caused by
a dirty element) reaches the rated value of the indicator.
