Racor T-Handle Vacuum Gauge Kit Customer Questions and Answers
Question
If you remove the T handle and add this gauge, how do you open the fuel filter to change the filters?
Asked on 01/31/2016 by Irvin KaufmanTop Answer
The gauge screws into a threaded base that you can turn with an open end wrench (it is hex-shaped). That piece does the job of the old T-handle to hold the top on. Works great, just takes more vertical clearance than the T-handle alone.

It is pretty easy. The adapter is 6 sided, an open end wrench and you can remove the adapter and gage as a unit. Same thing for installatiion

Normally you would only back the t-handle out and remove the cover. Now, you will have to use a wrench (spanner) to back the fitting out. Be careful you buy the correct gauge. The gauges for the 500 series filter are different than the 900-1000 series filters.

Yes it does. This is an excellent way to monitor your fuel filter condition.
