Racor 500 Series Vacuum Gauge Swivel Fitting
Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2022 7:36 pm
Hi Guys,
I have a Racor vacuum gauge (p/n RK19671) that I would like to install on my Racor 500 series fuel/water separator.
When mounted, the gauge extends too high for the engine cover to fit correctly. What I'm looking for is an elbow swivel, or a rotating fitting, to mount the gauge on the 500 thereby lowering the gauge height so that the engine cover fits properly.
If anyone has done this modification, can you post the part number and source, or if you did a DYI, how did you do it?
BTW, if anyone wants to service their Racor 500, the service kit p/n is RK15211.
Many thanks,
Bill
