Inexpensive Digital Gauge

[rob.mwpropane]

Hey all, I'm looking for a cheaper digital gauge to swap out my analog gauge on my whip... I don't really need it to be absolutely perfect, just somewhat consistent. My last digital gauge was $130, I don't want to spend that again.

I found these, but the thread size looks to be 3/8" when I'd really like it to be an even swap, 1/4" for 1/4"...

Grainger?

Actually looks like this might be the ticket, although it's double the cost of the other one;

Grainger?

I'm not opposed to getting it anywhere, Grainger (to me) is usually on the expensive side..

They are pretty cheap on our corporate account, never ordered from them outside of work.

Maybe use a M20 to 1/4 adapter?

I believe the G1/4 is BSPP straight threads? Where as the other one I linked is 1/4" npt? $60 isn't too terrible, I just don't want to order the wrong one.

Might be worth checking with them to see if it will remember your unit changes between uses. That'd be kind of annoying having to switch from megapascals every time you used it.

The one I posted looks like the one I bought and it does retain selected units. $58.50 USD

Tell me about it.

The 2nd time I used my current digital gauge I inadvertently switched it to mPa without realizing. Thankfully around 2200 I noticed it wasn't increasing pressure like it should and that's when I realized the setting change. Almost scary. Now I check it and don't mess with it.

Yes Sir, I think I linked the same one. I think that's good enough, it's at least 1/2 price of my original gauge.
