About This Product
HOME-FLEX .1-15 psi, Pressure Test Gauge. Check for drop in pressure due to leaks in the system. Pressurize your system to a maximum of 15 psi and observe the needle. If the needle drops, that indicates that there is a leak in the system.
Highlights
- Gauge reads from .1 to 15 psi in .5 psi increments
- Schrader valve inlet for easy input of compressed air source
- 3/4 in. female pipe threads for easy attachment to pipe fittings
- Includes dust cap for schrader valve
- Brass and steel construction for durability and longevity
- Gauge is housed in a steel case
- Gauge face is protected by a clear plastic lens
- Watch the tutorial on how to properly transition from black iron pipe to HOME-FLEX CSST
- View our HOME-FLEX electronic gas detector to identify in-home gas leaks

Questions & Answers
will this rig hold 100 psi if I change the guage?
Hi, Rich - I'm not quite understanding your question. Please call me at (661) 257-3923 x1026 so I can possibly answer your question. Thanks, Dave.
What is the difference between the red gauge and the black gauge on this pressure valve?
Hi, Gauge - The red needle (movable with the brass button) is to be aligned with the black needle after your inflate the system to 15 psi. If there's a leak in your system, the black needle will show a reduction in pressure. In other words, the red needle indicates the "starting" pressure when the system is pressurized. If the black needle moves, it indicates a leak which should be addressed.
Please see VPC's response.
Does this manometer measure in WC or Pounds per Sq Inch?
Not a manometer. This gauge is intended to be used during leak testing prior to the gas line being put into service. Please refer to the user manual. This gauge is scaled in psi.
Hi, Leonard - This gauge is not a manometer and is designed only to show a loss in pressure. It measures in PSI.
Why is the bozo in the video installing the thread tape in the wrong direction
I'm with Josh 😂😂
To apply PTFE tape to pipe threads: Face the threaded male end of the fitting towards you and wrap the tape in a clockwise direction. Start wrapping from the bottom and work your way up the threads. Try for a 50% overlap of the tape with each wrap.
Will the 15 psi meet most codes for inspection?
Hi, Steve - Yes, although some tests may have different requirements per local codes and/or the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Can I use this to test air pressure on a torpedo heater ?
I would suggest a better device for measuring differential air pressure. The device we use to test differential air pressure across a fan or filter is a Dyer Magnehelic Manometer. I would guess the static pressure across a torpedo heater is less than 2"WC but ask the manufacturer before purchase. This meter can be mounted on the heater for continuous readings. If you go this way you will need the kit with two Brass serrated hose fittings, hose and mounting plate to attach the meter to the heater. All available on Amazon. "https://www.amazon.com/Dwyer-Magnehelic-Differential-Pressure-Gauge/dp/B00481XA2M/ref=pd_bxgy_vft_none_img_sccl_2/134-4125991-0940354?pd_rd_w=HF2GR&content-id=amzn1.sym.7f0cf323-50c6-49e3-b3f9-63546bb79c92&pf_rd_p=7f0cf323-50c6-49e3-b3f9-63546bb79c92&pf_rd_r=HY9A0S0W6JFS7B7XBS4P&pd_rd_wg=4zIR6&pd_rd_r=f3d3491f-b124-433a-a379-e6bd0bb8de5e&pd_rd_i=B00481XA2M&psc=1" These meters are durable and accurate and worth the money if you wanting accuracy in your measurements. This suggestion is assuming you want to know the heater fans output in inches of water column over time to know when to clean the filter. Hope this helps, ET
Hi, Rob71 - This pressure gauge is simply to determine loss of pressure over a period of time. You would have to use a manometer.
I want to check my gas line pressure from the flex line to the inlet on my water heater. My old gauge is a little leaky so I'm not getting a good readings. Will a new gauge read the actual gas pressure if I attach it to the flex line?
I am trying to check natural gas pressure on a line , will this unit work?
Hi, Joseph - No, you'd need a manometer for that.
These gages are meant to monitor air pressure in the closed piping system prior to hooking up to the gas meter and appliances. Contact a licensed HVAC contractor or your natural gas supplier to check the gas pressure in your connected piping system.
Can I use this as a manometer and test gas pressure is out of a valve
No, sorry. A manometer is scaled to read the pressure of the gas piping system in inches of water column. Our gauge is scaled in psi in 0.1 psi increments and is intended to detect a loss of pressure during a pressure test.
it is leagal in Massachusetts to use this gage as a gas mamometer
