    These are NOT intended to hold high pressure. They should be removed and replaced with appropriate fittings or stainless steel plugs before high pressure operation. Each dummy plug carries a DH500 collar. Remove and retain the collar for use in connecting to the fitting. Page 11 © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company...

    CONNECT THE SYSTEM REFERENCE PRESSURE MEASURING DEVICE (RPM4/HPMS A70M/A20M-AF) GPC1-10000-AF is delivered with an interconnections kit (see Section 2.1.2, Table 1). This kit includes a 12 in. (305 mm) DH500 elbow intended to connect GPC1 to an RPM4/HPMS A70M/A20M-AF reference pressure monitor which is included in the PGC-10000-AF Pneumatic Gauge Calibrator.
