Pete's
All the ones I have used have been 1/4" or 1/2" MPT and were screwed into a brass or steel FPT. As far as threading the wall of PVC I think it depends on what is in the PVC and what the pressure is .There was an error rendering this rich post.

P /P
It is all water @ 50psi.There are eight gauges that have 1/2" PVC nipples drilled and screwed thru the pipe side wall ,they are right before and after the four circulators. Doesn't seem right.0 -
Drilling & threading
Schg #80 PVC is perfectly acceptable according to the pipe mfrg.0 -
P/T plugs
Most all commercial size pumps have 1/4' female pipe tappings in the suction and discharge flanges for the installation of gauges. Usually we pipe the two together
with two valves and a tee between the valves for the gauge. With one gauge to read both inlet and outlet pressure you avoid in-accuracy. If you want to add pete's plugs to this system why not just screw 1/4 ' pete's plugs into the pump flanges? You could then measure temp. or pressure with equipment of known accuracy.There was an error rendering this rich post.

Petes Ports
Knowing the pressurers of the circ's is one thing.Setting & adjusting the proper flow thru the 5 chillers (only 3 chillers run at any one time) is another.Tks Bob.0
