Threaded connections at sightgage glass to sightgage housing fluid connections Reason for leakage is considered to be one or more of the
,following:
1.
Improper 0-ring or seal material in the sightgage 2.
Overcompression of the 0-ring or seal 3.
Poor uorkmanship at reservoir connection All P.P.C. snubbers are suspect.
