..Mount a pressure gauge where the red arrow is pointing?



I'm assuming the thing the blue arrow is pointing to is a safety valve? So the outlet next to the safety valve would be safe to mount a gauge at?

I've never seen a pump with those three little ports where the safety valve is.

Any ideas? Any other options for mounting a gauge? I preferably want to mount it without having to run a hose.

Yep or "break into the safety"  and put a tee inline. Or a tee on the HP out where you plug your hose into...just put it on some quick releases so you can take it on or off.

I have twin outlets for dual operator. could i use one of those ports and put a gauge in it on a quick release? Would it read the pressure right while i was using the other port?

It could be fitted anywhere on the hp side as each operation  would influence the pressure in the line ie one gun operating,two guns operating or no guns operating (unloader operating unless it is trapped pressure unloader ... then it would read the pressure from unloader to gauge/trapped in the hose) .

the unloader is in an awkward spot. behind a face place. hard to explain.

not sure how this will affect the pressure gauge though but the unloader is a K9 so its not a trapped pressure one i dont think.

K series unloaders are flow sensitive unloaders...thats good (triggers ,hoses etc last longer!)
I don't think that one has a gauge port..but i'm not sure. I think it just has 3 holes ..in ,out,and dump!.
