need short stiff hose pressure gauge for 1st stage

[bottom dwell]

Hello all

I need a short stiff hose pressure gauge to attach to my first stage.

I clean hulls and use a umbilical hose attached to my 1st stage which is of course on the tank on the dock

I need to know how much is in my tank after cleaning a boat or two.

Initially I bought the umbilical and attached it to my mares 1st stage and second stage.

I need a stiff short hose gauge for practical reasons of transporting and placement of tank on dock.

Where can I find this gauge?

Thanks

No get this, it is way cheaper and they work great! You don't need a short hose and gauge.

If you want a short HP hose, any Trident dealer (most dive shops) can order you one.

ya if you're just approximating I'd just use the button gauge. Not highly accurate, but accurate enough to see when you're getting low

Thanks to all who replied and gave me the info on the gauge and 6" hose.

I am worried that if I just use the gauge and not the hose-that sometimes the tank gets knocked around and the gauge break at the first stage!

Thanks

I rig mine with a piece of pvc pipe cap with a hole in it. It ends up having a collar that extends outard around the face for protection, the guage is protected in this recessed area.

You could probably find the perfect size rubber hose to fit over the outside in a marine store too.

Lastly, if you mount the regulator so that you can read the fixed guage, it will be pointing upward, so when the tank gets knocked over, it should not impact the guage...Hey they are $15.
