The color coded legend on a Racor vacuum gauge pretty much tells you what you should expect in terms of normal operation: [IMG] Here are more...
the following pic shows you the scale better, but why do you think the position at rest should be relevant? I mean, I understand that the static...
I would check the zincs monthly, to start. On a set of 3406's I took care of, the lower heat exchanger zinc was completely gone to a nub in 30...
Can't quite read the scale, but is that a dual range gauge with vacuum and pressure? If it is intended to read vacuum, the reading at almost any...
