DIY pressure gauge?

Post by bionic_hip »

I'm looking into making my own PF pressure gauge. Any idea on the size/thread pitch of the PF spout?

Check out this thread:

Alternately, there's always this option:

For the former, you will probably end up with a gauge that reads in psi and you'll have to do the math (130psi ~ 9bar so pretty easy). The gauge on the latter option is in bars.

Awesome, thanks! I actually have a gauge (temporarily "on loan" from work) that is in bars. Just having a heck of a time finding the correct fitting!
