Others What Inline gauge to go in between the compressor and gun.

[PineyWoods Hunter]

I bought a GX compressor and the gauge is small. I have a Bush Pig and it doesn't have a gauge on it. I would like to be able to check the pressure in the tank on the gun before I fill it . I would also like to be able to put the same gauge inline while I'm filling the gun .
Is there a setup that would work?

Great question , I was researching gauges for the same thing the other day. I would like to know what pressure my CS4 is actually filling to. There are several 5000psi gauges that would work. I’m not sure which ones are accurate and I haven’t seen a tee connector for the hook up.

I think the problem is going to be that your tube has a check valve that prevents backflow. In order to see gun pressure you would need to overcome the pressure being applied to that valve. Normally this is done when pump/compressor pressure gets high enough, which can be heard by the valve clicking open.

So being able to just check bushpig pressure, no. Having inline to see pressure as you are filling though is certainly possible.

As stated, one way foster and you cannot measure gun pressure.

I have a high accuracy digital gauge inline with my compressor.

That’s all I want to do.

Bought mine, as you can tell by the lettering, from AliExpress 2-3 years ago. $40 or so. Had to buy fittings to tee it into the lines. Bought them on AliExpress too.

Here’s my gauge set up, I use it with a cotton pre-filter and a desiccant filter.

All the parts except for the blue desiccant filter, I used came from either a Umarex hand pump or the GX compressor.
