I just got my new SPG in. Inside the box was the gauge and a part.
Could someone help me out with what it is and where it goes? Thank you!
Warning - huge picture, slow opening.
That little piece is the HP swivel or HP spool. It provides the seal between the hose and the gauge. Very lightly lubricate the o-rings on each end of the spool and insert it in the pressure gauge. The hose can then be installed.

Don't forget the nice stainless bolt snap along with your 24" hose.Thanks! I guess I have to order my hose . . .
Next time you place an order with Dive Sports (Or where ever you buy from) order up a spare spool too! I keep one in my save a boat dive kit.
You ain't a man if you can't replace the spool 'O' rings on a boat, in the dark, with gloves on!
*AHEM* :scorned:
I was really snickering (yes out loud) when I posted that. I KNEW you'd have something to say about my sexist remark.
But to be serious for a moment, that little thing fits into the bottom of the SPG. Then the hose threads onto the SPG and as you can see, the little post with 'O' rings creates the high pressure seal for the hose/spg connection.
I too carry a spare (hope I can find it if I need it) and also some 'O' rings, too.
How about you are not much of a diver if you don't have a light on a night dive :shocked2: (Let alone any dive :cool2.You ain't a man if you can't replace the spool 'O' rings on a boat, in the dark, with gloves on!
