Regulator gauges

[Dhm8484]

Hey all, my low pressure side gauge (0-60 psi) isnt reading zero but I know tank it empty question is will any air gauge work with co2? Maybe be dumb question. Thanks

Was going to replace it.

Any gas pressure gauge that'll fit your reg should work. You can pick them up pretty cheap from Amazon, $8-9 delivered...

Cheers!

I figured it would, I figured I can go get something at home depot or lowes

You might get lucky there - both stores have suitable pressure gauges with 1/4" RHT on their web sites, though in my area neither store has a suitable gauge in stock...

Cheers!

If not theres three welding supply stores with in 10 miles of me which is another options

I am a big fan of the Winters P9S series gauges. I have replaced all of my gauges with them. I also have a Wika 4 inch test gauge that is accurate to .25% that I use to rezero the P9S gauges.

There are two reasons I like the Winters P9S, the first is the accuracy rating of 2/1/2, which means that in the middle of the range, it is accurate to 1% of the reading. The second is that you can rezero it (hence why I have a test gauge), which I test about once a year, or if I suspect it might be off.

when I was checking my old gauges, some were off by about 1-2 psi at 15 psi, which doesn't seem like much, but percentage-wise, it is huge. I have these on my primary regulators, secondary regulators, spunding valves, etc. I have different ranges, but mostly 0-60 psi for primary, and 0-30 for secondary.
