Title: water pressure gauge?
Post by: Slippy on February 20, 2016, 12:38:18 pm: (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1455971793_water pressure tester.jpg)

Want to test the water pressure in taps and hose pipes I use. I stuck this in one and don't think they fit. Is this the wrong device? What am I doing wrong?

Just a normal hose connector. How do I connect the water gauge meter to a hose? Think it's smaller in size.

Remove the gauge from it JG "T" and push it into this fitting. Screw it onto the tap.
