Pressure gauge for pump
« on: January 14, 2014, 03:01:43 pm »
Any recommendations on a gauge for an interpump. I want one ideally to fix to the pump itself.

Would something like this do?

Cheers Matt, I'll take a look. Is that the right kind of gauge to use?

Thanks again Matt,

Beer tokens are in the post ;-)

While I've got a thread active. What quick release connectors does everyone else run? I'm on Mini's (11.6mm) but all the females are starting to wear out now, so I'm thinking of changing them all to 20mm. 20mm seem more of a common connector.  Is it worth it or im i just adding extra weight to the end of a pressure hose? Ive found replacement minis hard to source outside of malcleance etc.

Run the bigger (3 ring ones) .I also find that if you run "k series unloaders" they last longer...as they dont get "hammered together" all the time.

I use the 3 o ring ones on my guns/hoses. I use the minis on the ned of the lance for nozzle interchanging (fan to turbo) and i use the kew type connectors on the ends of my guns, to change from lance to whirlaway without having to turn the machine off.

Try qwashers mate, they sell mini/midi/3oring ones. both male and female or sets.
