Overview:
T-handle vacuum gauges available
to monitor filter condition. As a
filter slowly becomes clogged with
contaminates, restriction (resistance
to flow) increases. Because of this
restriction, more air is mixed with
fuel and less fuel is delivered to the
engine (fuel de-gassing). This will
result in loss of power and eventually
stall the engine.
Installing a T-handle Vacuum Gauge
in your fuel system gives you a
visual monitor of your filter condition.
Excessive resistance on the gauge
means it’s time to change the filter.
Instruction Part Number 14396 Rev -
Product Features:
• Rotatable bezel ring to set
the change-out line.
• 1/4"NPT threads.
• 9/16"-18 UNF tting
included.
• Red tell-tale pointer follows
black restriction pointer
to highest reading. Reset,
using center knob.
• Black restriction pointer.

Specifications
Application For 900 and 1000 Filter Assemblies
Thread Size 1/4” NPT bottom boss mount
Fitting Thread 9/16”-18 UNF
Dimensions 2.0” W x 1.1” D
Dial 2 in. (5.1 cm)
Weight (dry) 0.3 lb (0.1 kg)
Ambient Temperature Range -40oto +250oF (-40oto +121oC)
Special Notes: For severe vibration applications, mount gauge on a stable, remote location and
connect to the source using exible tubing. After September 1999, Racor converted many liquid-
lled gauges to new silicone dampened movement. This new (dry) technology provides a vibration
resistant design that never leaks uid or requires adjustments due to temperature or altitude
variations.
RK 11-1669 Overview
It is recommended to remove
any dirt or debris from the filters
lid before installation.
1. Remove existing T-handle.
2. Attach vacuum gauge to
adapter fitting (if not already
done) using a thread sealant.
Note: Do not use thread tapes as
loose particles may work out and
flow into the fuel system.
3. Apply Parker Supper O-lube
(part number RK 31605) or
clean motor oil onto o-ring.
4. Install O-ring (part number
11350) carefully onto adapter.
5. Install the gauge adapter
assembly into the top of lid
Hand Tight. You may need
to orient gauge within the
adapter body to face the
appropriate direction.
Installation Guidelines

Service Instructions
e actual reading at which you
should change the lter will
depend on many factors as fuel
systems vary so greatly.
As a rule, many pumps have
trouble delivering fuel to the
engine when restriction reaches
7"-10" of mercury (inHg). Some
falter much earlier, some later.
Carry an extra Racor lter (or two)
and at the rst indication of power
loss -usually at high RPMs- pull
over and note the gauge reading.
is should provide an idea when
future service is needed. Replace
dirty lter with a new Racor lter
at the earliest opportunity.
Note: Do not use this kit
for USCG inspected marine
applications: Order Kit
number 1606B for dash-
mounted gauge.
