Inline pressure gauge ?

[kayaker]

In need of a inline pressure gauge (between compressor and gun) , what are some of you using ? The only one I have found is the Air Venturi gen 2 at (Air guns 4 patriots), also has anybody done business with this outfit ? Looking to buy in the U.S. only. IF some of you have built your own could you provide a link if possible. Thanks for any info as I will be in & out today.

i built my own with an inline shutoff valve to, but you could do just a gauge .. youll need a tee fitting for 1/8npt, a couple of fosters in 1/8 npt and a guage in 1/8npt ... you can use teflon tape but its very hard, for me anyway, to get a solid leak free connection using it .. its better to use loctite 545 and the trick to get a good seal is use it generously by itself and let it set up an entire week before hitting it with hpa ... id use steel for your fitting

dizzums I like your setup thanks for the reply, gives me something to think about.

I have a couple of the AV ones. Thought they were a little costly. But, by the time you buy a male and female foster, a gauge, a couple male couplers and a T-block, $50 doesn’t look so bad. I have made a couple from inexpensive fill stations. But the AV ones are more compact. I even permently mounted one on the end of my 40 cal Badger. Who builds a big bore rifle with out adding a gauge?!!!

Quad82 thankyou for chiming in, I was thinking the same for cost also but do like dizzums idea of the pressure release built in . That's a nice idea on your Badger, Guess I will figure this decision out next week what I want to do. Thanks again !
