Questions & Answers
my hose bib uses an arrowhead self-draining vacuum breaker, will this give me an accurate pressure reading
Yes, this gauge will give you an accurate reading.
Can this be attached to an outdoor picket to measure the pressure
Yes, this can be put on outdoor spigot.
Instructions for use
To use the water pressure test gauge, simply thread it onto a standard 3/4 in. hose connection, such as an outdoor faucet or washing machine valve. Turn on the water slowly and read the pressure directly from the gauge. When finished, turn off the water and remove the gauge.
Will this thread onto a typical shower arm where the shower head would screw on to t water pressure there?
No. It will thread onto a 3/4" hose thread like an outside hose bibb.
WHAT IS THE ACCURACY IN COLD WEATHER OF THE 200 PSI GAUGE AT ABOUT THE 40 PSI PRESSURE RANGE
Accuracy is ASME, Type B.
Can this be placed permanently year round in an outdoor irrigation hookup? Seems to be leaking less than a year after installation.
The gauge is not recommended for outdoor year round use.
Has anyone left this meter permanently hooked up via a Tee mount? Or should I include a shutoff valve on the Tee before the meter?
There is not a problem to installing it on the branch of a tee permanently. And it's up to you whether to install an isolation valve but, is always a good idea so the whole system doesn't need to be shut down to change it out later.
Is this gauge filled with some sort of liquid? I have an older one that seems to have leaked some clear viscous liquid. I hadn't used it in some years.
No. The gauge is not liquid filled.
