I am looking for a 1.5in PSI SPG with a glass face to use on deco/stage bottles. Does anyone know who makes, and where I can find one. All I can find are ones with plastic faces.

Thanks
 
I use the DiveRite mini button SPG's

Dive Rite 1 Inch Button SPG - Northeast Scuba Supply
and
Button Gauge Adapter - Northeast Scuba Supply

I also have used the Highland Button SPG that also has the adapter with it.

Mini Tech Gauge - Northeast Scuba Supply

If you really want to use a 1.5" SPG (more $$$) on a DECO Bottle I like this Gauge (But the buttons are cheaper and do a nice job)

Also, I use a short 6" HP hose with this setup for my DECO/Pony bottles. It tucks nicely under my elastic hose retainer.

Come to mind for suppliers.
as for who makes them? I think they all come from the same Italian factory.
 
I have not had great success with button spg's. They don't seem to last.
 
Most of those that I have seen have the face sticking out and once accidently hit against something underwater they can leak. I had a halcyon one lasted 3 dives on a stage. I now just stick to 2" ones. Never had any issues.

The best one I have ownedb is a HOG whick does not have that red area in the beginning.

Even with a heavy reg and nitrox the stahe floats up with low psis in it.

They also have low accuracy...

Me either. I use the HOGs that I get from Tech Diving Limited with the 6" hose. Not the Miflex hose, however. I like the gas in my lungs before it goes into the water...
