Abstract
An improved pressure gauge construction in which the pressure inlet to the Bourdon tube is supplied through a tubular socket having alternate connections for either a low-connected or back-connected gauge arrangement. An adaptor is provided for threaded mounting one end into a selected of said socket connections while the other end extends outward of the gauge housing with a thread of choice for connecting to a fluid pressure source. A threaded plug seals the unused socket connection while an interlock secures the installed adaptor against unthreading removal.
