Delta Pressure (DP) Gauge

The Cummins Filtration® Delta Pressure (DP) gauge
measures the difference in pressure across the inlet
and outlet of the fuel housing (through the filter).
The indicator stem of the gauge pops up when there
is a pressure difference greater than 6-8 in Hg
(20-27 kPa). When the red indicator stem is popped

Metric connections require metric adapter fittings. For M26 x 1.5 fittings, use part no. 3954136 S (which includes an outlet M26 x 1.5 outlet fitting, M26 x
1.5 inlet fitting with check valve body, check valve ball, check valve retainer, and check valve spring) and install to inlet and outlet ports of housing. For M42
x 2 fittings, use part no. 3956561 S (which contains two M42 x 2 fittings) and install to inlet and outlet ports of assembly.
