Pressure test gauge, inches of water - recommendations?

[John E Davies]

I am thinking about buying one to check the low pressure supply at the propane appliances (downstream from the tank regulator). Any recommendations? I have this one bookmarked...

Thanks Bill, cool videos but I am not looking for a homemade solution, but rather a consumer grade gauge for the toolbox at home.

 

Long ago I had a carpenters water level, which never actually worked. At all. Now I have a laser level. Also I had a mercury manometer which had four glass columns and was perfect for synching four carbs on a motorcycle. You just had to remember not to rev the engine and snap the throttle closed or it would suck all the mercury into the engine. Ahhhhhh the good old days before things got banned.

I have used that same gauge for probably 30 years and most of our techs that don't have fancy digital ones use it too.
