Is there a digital air pressure gauge that works on Air Venturi Avenge-X Classic Synthetic? If so please direct me to that info. Thanks !
Air Venturi Is there a digital air pressure gauge that works on Avenge-X Classic Synthetic?
- Thread starter Sky King
- Start date
I'll be damned if i can find one...
according to Ted @ Air Ventruri the threads on the stock gauge are "M8x1 parallel thread."
Not sure why the hell they would do that thread pitch when most EVERY gauge is 25mm or 28mm and is 1/8"bsp.. makes no damn sense.. Lol

The Sekhmet standard 25mm gauge comes in the M8 thread. I have one arriving today for my Avenge X. I’ll install it, pump the rifle back up, and report the results here.
I also spoke to Sekhmet about their directive to NOT use the Dowty washer because of possible gauge damage due the their case design. I was told that the 8mm threaded gauges have a redesigned case that will allow for the use of the Dowty. There is still a recommendation to use as little force as possible to seal things up, however.

Watch out when ordering them from Amazon. I did and they are either too small or too big. I needed them for use in a Yong Heng Compressor.

Gauge arrived and it’s on the gun and the gun is pumped back up. There does not seem to be any leakage issues but the gun will have to sit for longer than the hour it’s been. I’ve had the rifle for maybe 4 months now and it has never shown any leakage that I could detect even after sitting for a week. Well, up until now and since I mentioned it ……..you know how that goes.
The packaging on the gauge is very impressive. I don’t own any sort of expensive watch, but if I did, I bet this is the kind of box it would come in. You get a few different kind of seals and the USB magnetic charging cable. The manual has removed (covered over with a sticker) the reference to the use of the Dowty seal. I just used the Dowty that was on the analog gauge and just hand tightened it. It doesn’t index in at the perfect position but I’m not concerned about that.
This is a non-back illuminated LCD gauge but since I don’t plan on shooting at night, I’m happy with the visibility. The digits are over 1/2” high so I can finally get rid of the magnifying glass I was using to read the gauge! I thought I had the reg at around 175 bar - the gauge says 165 so I’ll believe that. I’m also charging it right now and the pressure reading was shutting off after maybe 15 seconds. Could just be because of the low battery. Regardless of the on time, I don’t think you want (or probably even need) a gauge like this on the tank side of things. They have a Pro version of the gauge that looks like it could tell you everything you’d ever need to know plus when to take the clothes out of the dryer. I don’t do any kind of laundry so I wouldn’t need that gauge.
Very nice product. Stupid easy install. The diameter is the same as the stock gauge but it does stick out a bit more than the stock gauge. I paid $71 for it direct from Sekhmet.

I had a gauge leak and needed to replace. Pyramyd Air had the gauge kits ($40) on back order and I couldn’t find he exact match anywhere, so I ordered the digital one from Sekhmet. It should be here in a few days, the price is now $75 plus shipping. Hand tighten without the Dowty seal, what’s not to like.

There's a setting that allows you to change the amount of time before it shuts off automatically and also there should be a little icon that shows the level of the battery and of course you can change it from psi two bar or whatever your preference is

The info on the Sekhmet site says bar only for the STD M8, I should know for sure in a few days. I was hoping it had PSI but I can convert easy enough.

The email I got from Sekhmet said to use the Dowty seal and hand tighten, no wrenches. I installed it and still have a leak at the Dowty seal. Did you use the Dowty on your install? I also took a photo of the inside of the high pressure side, are these threads supposed to missing a section toward the outer edge or is this a blowout?

No I’m not sure at all now. I spent about an hour on the phone with Ted at Air Venturi, explained my situation and one of the first questions he asked was whether I had changed the 3 orings on the axle. Of course I had, and had 3 old orings laying on my table. He helped me find replacement Dowty seals on Amazon, and after I got off the phone with Ted doubt set in. I took the gun apart and unscrewed the axle and saw the 3rd oring; nope, not replaced. I rebuilt the gun, noticed some leaking, cocked it, refilled and so far it’s holding 281 bar which was all my tank had left. I left a message at Air Venturi apologizing to Ted. Hopefully I have my fix, but ordering the Dowty seals anyway.
