Winters 2-1/2" Dial Size, Liquid Filled Industrial Pressure Gauge, Brass Internals, Stainless Steel Case, Dual Scale 0-10,000 psi/kPa, 1.5% Acc, 1/4" NPT Bottom Mount, Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge

Quality meter ... use this to measure the pressure of the hydraulic fluid on my Kubota Tractor. Gets the job done. This meter has better quality and measurements than the meter on a popular videos showing how to increase the Hydro Pressure.

First off - I paid $13.27 for this gauge in the 2.5" size, with the bottom mounted 1/4" fitting, and the rated 1.5% accuracy. I wanted to state that up front, because I am about to make a case how great a gauge this is for the price - which would all change if they raise the price significantly in the future (which happens all the time). This is still a well made, high quality gauge - and the fact I got it for a price that compares to lower quality gauges only makes it that much better!I searched in a number of places for a 30 psi / 2 bar gauge to help calibrate my new Cremina espresso machine. Most of what was for sale in this price range were "Grade B" gauges, with a 2.5% or worse accuracy promise. I then learned about the availability of "Grade A" gauges, and how they also promised better accuracy. This gauge is considered one of those "Grade A" gauges.The issue was what most were charging for Grade A gauges - I was finding prices of $25 to $50 depending on source and brand of the gauge. Even for this particular gauge here, you could pay a lot more for it if you go elsewhere. The $14 range for a gauge will typically get you Grade B, not Grade A. For example, search "Durachoice" here on Amazon, and you will see a Grade B Gauge for more than this; they are still a decent gauge, but these are better.Note that this is a stainless steel, 304 grade metal gauge - no plastic housing here. The picture here on Amazon (at lease when I bought it) makes it look like a grey painted metal. I don't know if that is just a bad picture, or an incorrect image - but rest assured this is a bright, stainless steel gauge!These gauges work well and are very well made. I would recommend them to anyone looking - especially when you compare the $14 price tag to gauges of equal or lesser quality.Thanks for reading!

Works a described.

I was looking for an HVAC vacuum gauge. For all the car people out there SAE is different than NPT. My brain translates both to "American" and I was in a rush. I'm just going to use my manifold set to vacuum down my tank. It does look like you can duct tape together some fittings if you really wanna. No shade to Winters this is on me. Just putting it out there for other people to find.

The Winters 0 to 15 gage works very well. It's well made and I like the glycerin fill to dampen out bouncy needles. Mine arrived reading about 1.2 lbs instead of zero. I have found this to be a common thing and the subject of many complaints and returns. On most gauges it's a fix that takes about 30 seconds. If your gauge isn't zeroed, take a small screwdriver and gently push the fill valve on the case to the side very slightly. This let's some air in/out of the case and will return the needle back to it's correct zero reading. After your gauge will read accurately. Hope this helps someone.

Good quality gauge, been using this brand for 20+years. Very durable and low cost.

I needed a high pressure gauge, to replace a broken gauge on my scuba tank pressure checker.This worked perfect and is better than the one I replaced. Great price too.

Not only are the threads undersized, requiring a ridiculous amount of teflon tape, the gauge leaked oil into face. not the already pre-filled oil, engine oil. it leaked about 60 gallons of oil(out of the top relief hole)over the weekend into my shop. Absolute garbage, i knew in my gut i should have bought a quality US made gauge, and this proves it. Ive only run 200psi MAX. Pissed that i cant return, it'll be absolutely destroyed with a hammer when the quality replacement arrives. Will never buy from them again.
