why do you want to auto clave your gear anyway? Autocvlaves are good to sterilize the surfaces of things, like sterile vials is you have the right setup, but not the gear itself. filter though a .2 micron filter and be done with it, at least 1 to 3% ba and a filtering will render your gear sterile.
To answer your question maybe, you could force water into your gear with the pressure so unless your making ampules I would not bother

On a side note though, I do plan to autoclave my empty vials from now on. I learned that the research companies we buy them from do not autoclave them. They just soak them in BA and heat them to like 100 deg C. That is not sufficient to destroy spores and I got a nasty infection from a vial I bought from GPZ.

I did autoclave a 200 mg/mL solution of mesterolone enanthate without any decomposition.
I was almost done filtering when the filter broke and the rest of the stuff in the syringe just shot in and contaminated the whole lot. I didn't have another vial and mesterolone (proviron) doesn't have any double bonds so it should be less likely to oxidize or otherwise go to shit.
I vented the vial with a steel syringe needle and popped that sucker in the autoclave. I analyzed the mixture afterward and could not find any changes.
Our autoclave only goes to 120 deg C with pressure so the temperature wasn't too extreme. I wouldn't recommend autoclaving tren but I think things like test, deca, EQ would PROBABLY be OK under those conditions. I still would recommend filtering through a 0.2 micron filter but, in a pinch, autoclaving is a viable alternative in some cases.
