Set the two pieces of PVC pipe on a flat surface. Pick a side that you want to have the caps on. Use the purple primer out of the Handy pack to prime the ends of the pipe. The brush is inside the can of primer. Might be hard to open the first time. No big deal.

 

 

Do the inside of the caps also.

 

 

Then apply some cement the same way. Be careful with the cement. You do not need a lot. When you are done with applying the cement on the outside of the pipe and on the inside of the caps. You should put the caps on top of the pipe pieces. Press down as hard as you can to make sure to get the best seal on the cement.

 

 

Ok. The tire gauge that I bought needs a little modification. So, we are going to open it up and look at the bottom.

 

 

The little brass flat head screw in there needs to be loosened and removed. When you loosen that screw, you'll notice that the outside came undone too. Unscrew the whole thing. Including the outside cap. Should look like this when completed.

 

 

Now that is all taken care of. We can move onto the drilling. You are going to have to find a drill bit that is small enough for the end of the tire gauge. Then you are going to drill the end of one of the caps with this bit.

 

 

Should look like this.

 

 

Test fit. The end of tire gauge should now have a threaded end on it. You do not want to go so big that you can not thread it in to place in the cap.

 

 

Take the tire gauge back out. Prime and cement the hole.

 

 

Now take the tire gauge and screw it into permanent place. Make sure no cement gets on the inside of the pressure gauge.

 

 

Done with one!

How come I can't see the pictures on this post??
