When screwing the instruments in, the force required for sealing must not be
applied through the case, but only through the spanner flats provided for this
purpose, and using a suitable tool.
For parallel threads, use flat gaskets, lens-type sealing rings or WIKA profile
sealings at the sealing face . With tapered threads (e.g. NPT threads), sealing is
made in the threads , using a suitable sealing material (EN 837-2).
The torque depends on the sealing used. In order to orientate the measuring
instrument so that it can be read as well as possible, a connection with clamp
socket or union nut should be used. When a blow-out device is fitted to an instru-
ment, it must be protected against being blocked by debris and dirt.
