Title: 1701P or 1720T Pressure Gauge Block Removal
Post by: crossliner on March 10, 2019, 09:19:34 PM
Hi, gents!

Is there a way to plug the gauge hole on either one or do I just twist/rotate it?

I do not intend to install a regulator, by the way.

Thanks!

Your question is ambiguous.
Do you want to remove the gauge block?
Block the hole after removal of gauge?
???

I would remove it if there was an aftermarket gauge block with no hole.

Were it safe, I could/would plug it and just rotate it, so that the plugged portion is no longer parallel to the tube's gauge hole.

My apologies for not being clear.

The youtube word is actually [/youtube] or not anymore.

I do not understand why my word was replaced.

I bought a couple of Disco "valve gauge eliminators" or something called that. I used them to eliminate the valve gauge hole in the valve.
Basically, just an extended valve forend that seals in front of the gauge hole.

This one will work but the channel is not in line with the front trigger screw, hence I have to notch it, as it will hit a certain section:

Had a word with the boss of MAP hours ago  :-*

I did have to grind down an area for the grip screw to clear.  (Forgot that part. >:()
