Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this kit be used on both 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch pipes?

Yes, the pressure gauge is designed to be compatible with both standard 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch male threads.

What is the maximum pressure the gauge can measure?

The gauge is rated to measure up to 11 bar or 160 PSI.

Does the thermometer require batteries?

Yes, the digital stem thermometer requires batteries to power the LCD display and the max/min memory function.

Can the kit be used for industrial-scale steam systems?

No, this kit is designed for standard domestic and light commercial water plumbing systems, not high-pressure industrial steam applications.

Is the carry case waterproof?

The carry case is designed for protection and organization, but it is not submersible; keep it dry to protect the gauges.

Troubleshooting

Pressure gauge showing inconsistent readings

Ensure the connection is tight and free from debris; check that the O-ring or seal at the connection point is not damaged.

Thermometer screen blank or unresponsive

Check the battery contact points for corrosion and ensure the battery is seated correctly or requires replacement.

Gauge cup leaking during flow test

Ensure the cup is held vertically and aligned correctly with the stream to prevent splashing or overflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your kit, always inspect the threads of the pressure gauge before attachment to avoid cross-threading. Ensure that the system being tested is not under extreme pressure spikes that exceed 160 PSI, as this could damage the internal diaphragm of the gauge. When using the thermometer, ensure the probe is fully submerged or placed in direct contact with the medium for accurate results. After every use, wipe the instruments clean with a soft, dry cloth to prevent mineral buildup from water. Store the kit in its provided carry case, keeping it away from extreme heat or damp conditions to maintain the accuracy of the sensitive internal components.
