Yong Heng pressure gauge replacement

Jump to latest Follow Reply
IF it isn't an adjustable shutoff type and IF you have a gauge on your tank and gun that are reliable, just plugging that port should be possible. More safety is good but if the gauges fail then how reliable are they? I trust the gauges on my tank when I fill and the YH gauge always reads low in comparison. My adjustabe shutoff gauge failed a long while back-blew the rubber plug out and across the room. I plugged it temporarily until I got a non-adjustable replacement but now I think I would just plug it.

I have spare nut/bolts/springs/etc. in the thousands in my shop bins. I located a plug that screwed in and used that until a replacement gauge was sourced. It was sometime last year and exactly what it was I don't recall and I only needed to use it once before the replacement gauge arrived. Any correctly sized and threaded bolt and teflon tape should be able to seal it.

I put an M10-1male to 1/4" female NPT adapter on mine then added a good glycerin-filled gauge.

Where did you buy the adapter and was it rated for high pressure.
