I bought a nitrous works pressure gauge for my NOS 5124 kit. I tried mounting it on the bottle but I can't get screwed on all the way. It leaks and it is driving me nuts. Should I put it on near the front behind the solenoid?

Another thing I am thinking about is the size. I see that there is 4AN and 6AN fittings? What does this mean and which size fits the 5124 NOS Kit?

 

Ayudame por favor. Summit Racing no puede ayudar mi problema.

 

i have the nos bottle pressure gauge from NOS, and mine doesnt screw in all the way either, but it doesnt leak..

what could be wrong with yours?

 

Those gauges are 1/8" NPT..so it's a taper thread so it's not suppose to go all the way in. Did you use Teflon paste? Some teflon paste doesn't work as good as others. I tried 4 different type until I found a good one. It's called Real-Tuff and it's made a Herculus. I got it from home depot.

 

Is there any way you can give me the part number and where you got that gauge?

Someone told me about teflon tape or something like that for a leak. Will this work? I am guessing it would be too much of a hassle with this tape.

 

Shouldn't these gauges fit perfectly and not leak?

 

dont use teflon tape, it will leak bad. Only use teflon paste on high pressure fittings

 

My NOS pressure gauge won't even thread into the fitting it comes with. I never could hook it up.
