Sight Tube Installation Instructions
1. Apply a small amount of blue thread locking compound onto threads of one end of each stay rod and thread hexagon
nut onto that end until approximately 1/8” of rod is projecting through nut.
2. Inspect seal grooves in gauge end plates to ensure that they are free of any foreign materials which might interfere
with seal.
3. Anchor lower end plate with seal groove side up.
4. Insert seal into groove in lower end plate.
5. Place sight tube shield in lower end plate.
6. Wipe off ends of sight tube.
7. Lower sight tube, with zero mark on scale at top, into sight tube shield until lower end of sight tube is centered in
groove on top of seal in lower end plate.
 Note: It is very important that sight tube is centered in groove because if edge of sight tube is outside of
groove, permanent damage to sight tube will occur.
8. Rotate sight tube so scale is visible between stay rod holes in end plate.
9. Insert seal into groove in upper end plate.
10. Carefully place upper end plate onto upper end of sight tube shield and sight tube.
11. Rotate upper end plate so stay rod holes in upper end plate are lined up with stay rod holes in lower end plate.
12. Ensure that upper end of sight tube is centered in seal groove in upper end plate.
 Note: It is very important that sight tube is centered in groove because if edge of sight tube is outside of
groove, permanent damage to sight tube will occur.
13. Compress all parts now in place together by pushing down on upper end plate with the palm of your hand.
14. Insert stay rods through holes in upper end plate and into and through holes in lower end plate.
15. While holding all parts securely in place, apply a small amount of blue thread locking compound onto threads of each
stay rod on lower end of gauge and install hexagon nuts hand tight.
16. Closely inspect sight tube to ensure that ends are still centered within seal grooves in end plates and carefully adjust
its position at this time if necessary.
17. Using recommended tightening sequence illustrated below, tighten lower hexagon nut on each stay rod a 1/4 turn at
a time.
 Note: Hexagon nuts on gauges with three stay rods to be tightened to 40 inch pounds of torque and hexagon
nuts on gauges with four stay rods to be tightened to 50 inch pounds of torque. If a torque wrench is not readily
available, tighten hexagon nuts 1 to 1-1/2 turns beyond hand tight.
