How To Use A Water Pressure Gauge To Measure Air Pressure

In this short video I show you an easy way to make a tool twice as useful! Do you need a pressure gauge to measure water pressure? Do you need one to measure air pressure? In this video I show you a great way to measure both with 1 gauge, using a couple of adapter fittings that are easy to find and even easier to install.

I made one today! The kids and grandkids are in awe lol. Thank you for sharing!

[@lollystar3055]

I love this video. In reporting and analytics tools we are used to use these gauges. But seeing and understanding a physical thing that to a reusable component for multiple purposes is really an awesome thing. This is the very first video I saw after many years of my engineering classes. Love ya sir. :-)

[@parsapersian80]

Loved it. Great hack. Thank you. Love the bloopers as well

[@JA-lc7nt]

Thank you for the quick response !

bloopers are great with a good video!

Great 👍 video!! And I don't think anyone will say it's a terrible idea??

Always!

GREAT IDEA , thanks .

nice idea.. simple and helpful!!!

Nice!

Can we apply this methods to Oxygen pressure gauge to check the water pressure?

[@ronstrode9124]

I have watched your 4th great water heater videos of yours tonight... I have a dial air compressor gauge.. Are you stating it will test water pressure also with correct adapter? I assumed it would get water in tire pressure gauge...

[@AmplifyDIY]

The gauge I demonstrated in this video seems to have no problem measuring both.

[@navinsabban6521]

line pressure is around 14 to 26 kg/cm2 . So what range of Pressure Gauge should I Put It on the line? Is there any formua to select ?

[@leewhitmore5350]

Would it be better to use a gauge that ranged from 0 to 100 instead of over 220 psi? Seems it would be easier to read and maybe more accurate.

[@AmplifyDIY]

Depends on what you are measuring, of course. I sometimes need to measure up to 175 psi for various projects, so this gauge is great for me. One with a smaller range would be easier to read if you don’t need to measure such a wide range. Thanks for watching, and great question!

[@nemesisxrox6773]

... don't see how there would be any ill effects from this great idea SO ... simply chalk this one up as another * A1 Pro Tip * ... :) Actually going to give it a try within the next few days ... :)

[@CorySchinkel]

This is great, but I don't see the link for the quick disconnect from ~ 1:34

[@mikepatel6323]

Amazon,Harbor Freight,Home Depot etc. very easy to find,

Came here to say the same thing

[@y002cjw]

With the right connectors could this setup measure the fuel pressure in an oil boiler?

[@AmplifyDIY]

I would think so.

[@bmarkie4103]

I was able to find the same guage with most of the adapters except the Schrader valve adapter, where did you get it ?

[@AmplifyDIY]

Hi Markie - here are the links from the description for everything, including the Shrader adapter: Pressure Gauge With Hose Fitting: amzn.to/3dW4DpQ Schraeder Chuck: amzn.to/2wgXBv8 1/4" Quick Couplers: amzn.to/2JPCYtf Teflon Tape: amzn.to/348nWIc Thanks for watching!

[@alikr.6333]

Can uu plss also teach how yo measure water pressure with Tyre pressure gauge .. please please pleaseee it's important for me a lot

[@AmplifyDIY]

Gauges that are designed for measuring air pressure will have a bad time if you try to measure water pressure. You need to get your hands on the right kind of gauge. I have links in the video description to the gauge I used here. Good luck!

[@adenandan8325]

May I knoe whats the incoming regulated pressure coming into my water meter min n max in bar/ psi by the water supply company .?

[@AmplifyDIY]

Have you tried calling and asking them?

[@lowellabraham6966]

Great video! do you have a link to your Quick Disconnect?

[@AmplifyDIY]

Hi Lowell - if you have not found one yet, here is a great option: amzn.to/3OsiZAo

[@ljlittlej6500]

:54 did not find that fitting in your right hand in the Amazon hyperlink to purchase.

[@AmplifyDIY]

Hey LJ Little J - it came in the box with the gauge: amzn.to/3dW4DpQ

[@Josh-mh3kl]

My dual pressure gauge is not working for water. The pressure gauge adapter hole is tiny like a pin hole. Do i have to change that to an adapter with a larger hole?

[@AmplifyDIY]

Hmm... I'm not sure. What kinds of readings are you getting when measuring water? Anything at all? Are the measurements just off (too low, too high)?

[@Josh-mh3kl]

@@AmplifyDIY thanks for the reply, but I purchased a the wrong gauge. The readings start at 0-4000 psi. For pressure washers not faucet pressure. Heading back to Princess auto

[@ericprak]

I have a very crazy question. Hoe do I use this setup to measure the steam coming from my high pressure steam cleaner? It was advertised to produce 3.5 BAR (≈50 psi), but I don't think it goes up that far. the problem being that the spray nozzle doesn't have a screw fitting, so how would I do this?

[@AmplifyDIY]

That’s a tricky one! You’ll have to find some way to get an airtight seal between the steam cleaner and a gauge. Perhaps it’s time for a creative trip to the plumbing aisle at your local home improvement store?

[@cesarboone4404]

Just keep in mind… quick disconnects usually have air leaks… thus giving you a false readings…. I rather buy 2 good quality separate gauges, (one for water & one for air)…they’re not that expensive

[@AmplifyDIY]

You make a good point, Cesar. Thanks for watching!
