I used this with my sandblasting cabinet to monitor pressure at the cabinet. Because of the location & angle I needed I attached it to, to see it while blasting, I used an 1/8” male to female 45 degree fitting.
I will likely only use 60-70 lbs max when blasting. Since one want to choose a gauge that works in 75 percent of its maximum, I choose this 100psi gauge.
It’s a crazy good value from a great manufacturer. You can’t go wrong with this one!
I bought this to replace the gauge on an inexpensive tire pressure gauge/filler that I bought a short time back. The original gauge was all plastic construction and broke the first time I dropped it. This gauge is all metal and seems quite sturdy. I checked it against an expensive digital gauge at various pressures and they both agreed within a pound. For my purposes this gauge is exactly what I needed and is cost-effective.
The gauge on my Harbor Freight Dual Chuck Tire Inflator with Dial Gauge broke. I bought this to fix it. The accuracy and the readablitiy is great. Made of Metal, feels like it would last a long time.
Used this as a secondary oil pressure gauge on my boat. Very easy to read and seems to hold up well. If there's a lot of pulsation in the flow you're measuring, you'll want to put a length of copper tube between the gauge and the source to decrease the pulsation.
Has been installed for close to a year and still working great!!

Description
The Winters PEM series pressure gauge with brass wetted parts has a circular dial enclosed in a steel case and a male connection, and measures pressure with a dual scale (psi/kPa)/(Hg. vacuum/kPa) with an accuracy of + or - 3/2/3%. The brass wetted parts are for measuring non-corrosive liquid and gas pressure. The black-painted steel case is Ingress Protection certified IP52 for protection against dust or liquids. The circular dial comes in 1.5" (40 mm), 2" (50 mm), 2.5" (63 mm), and 4" (100 mm) diameters. The dial has an aluminum black pointer. The lens for the 1.5", 2", and 2.5"diameter dials is polycarbonate for high impact resistance. The lens for the 4" diameter dial is glass for strength and clarity. The gauge measures pressure with a dual scale of either psi/kPa or Hg. vacuum/kPa. The gauge is accurate to + or - 3/2/3% over the entire range of the gauge, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B40.100 Grade B accuracy class. The male connection is mounted on the bottom or center back of the gauge and has either a 1/4" NPT (National Pipe Thread) or 1/2" NPT rate. The bourdon tube is phosphor bronze, the movement is brass, and the welding is silver alloy. The over-pressure limit is 25% of full scale value. The working pressure is a maximum of 75% of full scale value. The operating temperature is -40 to 150 degrees F (-40 to 65 degrees C). This pressure gauge is suitable for plumbing, heating, air conditioning, pneumatic, hydraulic, water tanks, and air compressors.
Pressure gauges are instruments used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid inside a vessel and, often, to help ensure the optimal amount of pressure for a given application. Pressure gauges can range from everyday instruments, such as those used to measure the air pressure in a car or bicycle tire, to highly accurate gauges used in mechanical and industrial processing. Most often, pressure gauges measure pressure relative to another reference. For instance, gauge pressure measures pressure relative to ambient air. An example of a pressure gauge measuring relative to ambient air is a tire pressure gauge or a blood pressure gauge. Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points, such as when measuring liquid flow along various points in a pipeline. An absolute pressure gauge measures pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, such as an atmospheric or barometric pressure gauge. All types of pressure gauges include either a male or a female mount to connect to the vessel where pressure is being measured, and display results on a dial with varying increments of measure across a given range.
Winters Instruments manufactures pressure gauges, thermometers, diaphragm seals, pressure transmitters, and switches. The company, founded in 1953, is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
Used this to replace the gauge on a tire inflater. The one which came with the inflater failed within weeks. So far, this gauge ia holding up great, including accuracy.
Product arrived quickly and as described. It also appears better made than those available at large home improvement stores which is what I was after.
Works great, checked calibration against my other gauges and it’s spot on.
A little teflon tape and no leaks
Great replacement if your gauge breaks. My gauge broke on my tire inflater, this gauge was a perfect replacement for me, threaded right in and gives accurate readings.
