Gauge arrived and it’s on the gun and the gun is pumped back up. There does not seem to be any leakage issues but the gun will have to sit for longer than the hour it’s been. I’ve had the rifle for maybe 4 months now and it has never shown any leakage that I could detect even after sitting for a week. Well, up until now and since I mentioned it ……..you know how that goes.
The packaging on the gauge is very impressive. I don’t own any sort of expensive watch, but if I did, I bet this is the kind of box it would come in. You get a few different kind of seals and the USB magnetic charging cable. The manual has removed (covered over with a sticker) the reference to the use of the Dowty seal. I just used the Dowty that was on the analog gauge and just hand tightened it. It doesn’t index in at the perfect position but I’m not concerned about that.
This is a non-back illuminated LCD gauge but since I don’t plan on shooting at night, I’m happy with the visibility. The digits are over 1/2” high so I can finally get rid of the magnifying glass I was using to read the gauge! I thought I had the reg at around 175 bar - the gauge says 165 so I’ll believe that. I’m also charging it right now and the pressure reading was shutting off after maybe 15 seconds. Could just be because of the low battery. Regardless of the on time, I don’t think you want (or probably even need) a gauge like this on the tank side of things. They have a Pro version of the gauge that looks like it could tell you everything you’d ever need to know plus when to take the clothes out of the dryer. I don’t do any kind of laundry so I wouldn’t need that gauge.
Very nice product. Stupid easy install. The diameter is the same as the stock gauge but it does stick out a bit more than the stock gauge. I paid $71 for it direct from Sekhmet.
