quick gauge question
hi sorry i know this should go elsewhere but i need a quick answer.
this gauge says it has a "coned end fitting", is this the same as a tapered seat ?

At a guess i think you're right, its probably the same thing. Fitted a different style of gauge recently and it had a tapered fitting at the back for the tube, which took a sort of nut and olive arrangement, which seemed to be fiddly and tended to crush the tube before getting a decent seal. Hope that helps a bit

Does sound the same as tapered seat.
If it uses an olive, smear it with some sealant, you can use Calortite or Boss blue/white. But a light smear is all that is necessary.
if it's a tapered thread, just hand tighten, then half a turn or so. I also usually take a couple of turns of PTFE tape round the thread, but again, two or three is PLENTY.
