Pressure Gauge 1\/4 MPT","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pressure gauge is how you find out what your machine is actually doing instead of guessing. Stainless steel body, 1\/4 inch MPT bottom mount, and it threads straight into an unloader block, a gauge port on the pump, or a tee in your discharge line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick a gauge whose full scale is comfortably above your working pressure.

Pressure swinging up and down points at the unloader or a starved inlet. Pressure fine at the pump but weak at the gun means you are losing it in the hose or the gun. Without a gauge, all three feel identical and get misdiagnosed as a bad pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee also \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gauges\"\u003eall gauges\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/unloaders\"\u003eunloaders\u003c\/a\u003e.
