Connections

Introduction

Fit the device under test (DUT) to the test port using the method described below:
W Caution
Ensure that all devices are internally clean and free from
contamination before connecting to the separator.
Particle contamination can damage or puncture the diaphragm
causing cross-contamination of both systems.
W Warning
DO NOT use Teflon/PTFE tape on these connections as this will
prevent correct sealing. The Gauge Adapter sealing system is
designed for hand-tight sealing up to 20,000 psi / 1,400
bar-wrenches or similar tools are not required—over tightening
can cause damage to threads or sealing faces.
Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to the
test port.
Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean
and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.
Note
The thread on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge adapters is
LEFT-HANDED. The following procedure details the correct method for
mounting devices using these adapters:
