Re: built myself a new tool the other night.
its an airline restriction, which will alow you to see how much of the 100psi is escaping. .040" is the metered amount that most testers use. without the restriction, you may as well install this without the rest of the gauge.:

basically, once you pressurize the chamber, the restriction will slow the pressure behind it enough that you'll be able to measure how much of it is escaping.
