Racor T-Handle Vacuum Indicator Gauge - RK32348 Item # 878385
Description
Features:
- Designed for use on all Racor 500 / 900 / 1000 Turbine Series Diesel Fuel Filter / Water Separator assemblies
- This gauge measures the increase in vacuum due to contamination of the Filter
- T-Handle Vacuum Restriction Indicator monitors the diesel filter's condition as the filter becomes clogged with contaminants
- The T-Handle gauge accurately measures filter contamination with any size micron filter
- As the filter gets dirty, restriction increases and less fuel is delivered to the engine, causing the engine to lose power and eventually stall
- Installs in one easy spin:
- Simply remove existing T-handle and replace with the RK32348 T-Handle Vacuum Indicator (Not a Kit / Fully assembled / Complete with O-ring)
- The T-handle design allows for filter cover removal without tools
- Maximizes fuel filter life and lengthens fuel filter change out intervals
- Easy to read:
- Locks in position at highest measured filter contamination level
- When the Yellow internal indicator approaches the Red Zone, Change the Filter. (Red Zone indicates 10" Hg vacuum) Green Zone " Good To Go"
- 360° Viewable
- The gauge can be read anytime, even days after the engine has been off
- Internal Check Valve:
- The T-Handle has a check valve to allow usage with priming pumps and prevent leaks if the gauge is damaged
- Easy and Safe Reset Button:
- Located on top of gauge, and never opens gauge to the outside atmosphere
- Works as a Diagnostic tool for other fuel problems:
- Helps to Diagnose: ( After filter change)
- Collapsing fuel lines
- Bad / Closed fuel valves
- Clogged fuel pick-ups
- Heavily Contaminated fuel tanks
- Helps to Diagnose: ( After filter change)
- Takes the guesswork out of diesel fuel filter maintenance:
- Maximize filter life, Stop Guessing when to change filters
- Know immediately when bad fuel is pumped onboard
- All components are 100% Diesel Fuel Compatible
- Use with diesel, bio-diesel, and kerosene
- Lowers operational costs / down time
- Helps to keep unnecessarily changed filters from being discarded
- Made in the U.S.A.
Specifications:
- Accuracy: ± 10%
- Calibration: 10 inHg (34 kPa) at Red zone
- Material: Brass and Chemical Resistant Nylon
- 2.5 " (6.4 cm) higher than original T-Handle / Over all height 4.8" (12.2 cm)
- Thread Size: 1/4" NPT
- Operating Temperature -40° to +250°F (-40° to +121°C)
Note: Not for use in Gasoline Applications
Installation Note:
- Hand Tighten ONLY - The T-handle should ONLY be hand tight
- That DOES NOT mean as tight as you can get it by hand and it certainly does not mean use two hands
- The 0-ring seals the T-handle to the lid and only needs to be snug
- Over tightening the T-handle can damage both the 0-ring on the t-handle and the 0-ring inside the filter cover
- 0-Rrings seal surprisingly easily, at very low torque and seldom loosen up
