Reduce the Risks of Particulate Contamination, Seized and Galled Threads with Gall Resistant Fitting on UHP Pressure Gauge

Submitted by Don Eisenhart || Wika

Replacing standard alloy fittings on a pressure gauge with gall resistant fittings is a minor change, but doing so eliminates the major issues associated with standard fittings. Fittings in a gall resistant material ensure a leak-tight seal, prevent particulate contamination from silver flaking, and minimize damage to the equipment caused by cross-threaded and/or seized fittings.
