Paintball Mini Gauge in underwater?

[Hoosier]

Ok, I see that Larry is getting crazy about the paintball supplies. While I am checking his website, I find out that there is a Paintball Mini Gauge (http://www.scubatoys.com/store/Paintball_Tank_Accessories.asp).

“These mini gauges are for regulators, tanks, or guns that need a gauge to read the pressure. If your compressed air tank has a cracked gauge on it then most fields won't fill it. Installation is as easy as unscrewing the old gauge, putting thread tape on the threads of the new gauge, and screwing the new gauge into where the old gauge sat.”



It might be silly question. Is there anybody who uses this gauge as a pony bottle SPG in underwater? It looks a cheap alternative of ordinary Mini SPG (http://www.leisurepro.com/Prod/GNSPPG.html)/

They aren't sealed. If you look closely you'll see a little hole in one side. So they wouldn't last long. They are also 1/8" NPT threads so they would have to be adapted over to HP threads.

Yea, that would not work too well! But heck, we sell the Pony Gauge for only 44 - and by the time you call in your order for the cool guy scubaboard discount, you're into one for $39... I know it's not as cheap as 13 bucks... but still not bad, and the other gauges, besides not water proof, and wrong threads, are not as sturdy. But nice idea!
