0-3 psi gauge

WIKA does not seem to have a 0-3 psi gauge anymore. (Need to replace mine) . . . Suggestions ??

i bought this last year when my Wika started acting up -

https://www.amazon.com/Kodiak-Controls-KC25-3-Pressure-Gauge/dp/B00H9ZWLZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481288868&sr=8-1&keywords=3+psi+gauge

It seems fine but it's on;y been in use for about 10 months.

Magnehelic!

Either a Dwyer Magnehelic which, is awesome.
Or the cheaper Dwyer LPG4 series gauge,

You can often find a good used Magnehelic on Ebay for $20-30.

You can get them....theres a 2 to 3 day lead time....i just placed an order on tuesday for 20 through Valworx http://www.valworx.com/product/low-pressure-gauge-25-0-3-psi..... i now install a 1/4" ball valve below the valve to protect it

How does the valve below the gauge protect the gauge?

You only open the valve when you are standing there and want to measure the pressure, not leave it constantly exposed.

Abracadabra · December 2016

But if you open the valve when the boiler is under pressure, and then you close it, doesn't the gauge stay pressurized? I'd think you'd need to pipe in another valve to release the pressure after you are done reading the gauge.

You are right @Abracadabra .... i usually just shut the boiler off and let it equalize....
