Product Description

Caution: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN WHILE OPERATING THIS INSTRUMENT

The instrument is ready for product testing as received from the factory but several checks should be made in order to assure that none of the fittings leak when testing is being performed.

Apply a small amount of “O” ring lubricant to the dial thermometer stem (6003) and work it up and down to lubricate the “O” ring (6008). “O” ring lubricant may be purchased from Zahm & Nagel.
Pressurize the instrument and apply a soapy water solution to all fittings. The formation of bubbles will show any leakage and the condition can then be corrected. The instrument may also be pressurized and submersed in an aquarium filled with water and bubbles observed in this manner.
