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

Bought this specifically for suction side of pump station for irrigation system on a golf course. Being able to record negative pressure at full vacuum and a resting pressure is crucial for future troubleshooting. Works great.

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

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!

Well made, good value.

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.

This pressure gauge is higher quality than what is typically sold. At 800 - 900 psi it works flawlessly. Highly recommend.

I first bought one of the cheaper generic brand meters but soon had issues with the glycerin leaking everywhere as you had to cut the nib.This winters unit has a brass plug that once installed you lift to equalize then push it back in. The housing on this is extremely study and the tightening nut solid. The liquid inside is filled significantly higher than the generic gauge.Trying to save a few bucks will only hurt you in the endAlso this has a 3/8” npt male connection

I needed this gauge to replace the failed gauge on my orchard sprayer. The glycerin helps to dampen the pressure fluctuations so the gauge is easier to read and the glycerin also helps to extend the life of the gauge. Works great so far!
