I am looking for some gauges for my cascade and I couldnt find a thread specific to this question, so I am providing this one for future reference. I have a 4" base plate, but I think a 2 1/4" - 2 1/2" gauge would be perfect. The gauge cant be more than a couple inches deep though as I have limited clearance that direction. Here is the panel they will mount on.

It is 4" from edge to edge on the angled face. I think if I can get them at a decent price, I will run 4 of them, to measure high and low side pressures on both stages.

Any suggestions? Extremecorvette, you have some nice gauges on your setup, I was wondering where you sourced them?

Thanks

just use a 90 degree ell on the back,that should solve your clearance problem.


www.grainger.com look under tools & test instruments then gauges then panel mount gauges.

there is 300 psi gauges for about $13.00
400psi for about $15.00
I seen 600 psi for $8.00 range is a little high but a good deal.
those are all panel mount.
