Procedures for Using the Pin Pitch Diameter Location Template and the
PD-8000-RSC External Pitch Diameter Gage
1. With the prole’s reference mark facing you and
the connector shoulder to your left, place the LPP
template on the threaded connector so the teeth
seat fully into the threads. The last length of the
template does not contact the shoulder.
2. With the teeth of the template seated fully in
the threads of the connector, slide the template
clockwise or away from you around the connector
until the left end of the template makes contact with
the pin shoulder. This is a rough clocking position.
3. Using a Sharpie® felt marker, place a mark on the
pin shoulder next to where the template contacts
the shoulder. Jog or rotate the machine spindle
until this mark is at the 12:00 o’clock position. This
makes it easier to locate and mark the measurement
position.
4. Place the template back onto the pin threads
just before the mark on the shoulder. Be sure that
the template threads are fully seated and parallel to
the pin centerline. Using a slight twisting motion,
slide the template in a clockwise direction or away
from you until the left edge of the template contacts
the shoulder. The twisting motion ensures that
the template is seated properly in the threads and
against the pin shoulder.
The pin pitch diameter location template or LPP is similar to a standard thread prole template with a
locator reference mark and a special shaped reference tooth. These reference indicators are used to
position and mark the location at which the pitch diameter of the connector will be measured. The LPP
location template works on standard pins as well as pins connectors with relief grooves. There are 11
different LPP templates based on specic TPI, TPF, and Thread forms.
The PD-8000-RSC gage measures the deviation from nominal pitch diameter for the connector being
inspected. The gage uses xed and a moveable contact balls that are set into the thread’s helical path
at a predetermined location. The deviation is read directly from the indicator.

Measuring the Pitch Diameter of the Pin Connector
5. Using a Sharpie® felt marker, mark the crests
of the two threads on either side of the locator
reference marks. This is the location where the
xed contact ball of the PD-8000-RSC gage will be
placed when measuring the pitch diameter.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to verify proper template
location. Holding the template rmly into the
threads will ensure the left edge is parallel and
square against the pin shoulder.
7. The connection is now properly marked and
ready to measure the pitch diameter using the
PD-8000-RSC gage.
1. The PD-8000-RSC gage must be preset and
locked to a calculated dimension for the particular
connector you are inspecting. It is recommended
that a ground setting standard rod or a MIC TRAC
is used for presetting the gage. Gages, setting
standards, and parts should be at the same
temparture.
2. To preset the gage, loosen the lower arm lock
screw and slide it to the approximate location where
the standard will t between the contact points.

3. With the lower arm loose, slide the arm toward
the indicator approximately .100” and tighten the
lock screw using a 1/8” Allen wrench. This will
preload the indicator .100” as the gage is zeroed.
4. Place the standard between the contact points,
sweep the standard in a small circular motion to
locate the smallest reading and zero the indicator.
The reading on the indicator is the amount of deviation from the nominal pitch diameter.
5. With the indicator on the bottom side of the
connector, place the xed contact ball at the point
where the LPP was located and marked.
6. Trace the same thread groove counter-clockwise
to the opposite side of the connector and place the
moveable contact ball in that thread groove.
7. While holding the xed contact ball at the marked
location, sweep the gage to locate the largest
indicator reading.
