Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 60 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 60 | db'51
Haven't done this but have you tried connecting a line from your air compressor to the back of the gauge.
Make sure you have a good regulator and pressure gauge inbetween the gauge and the compressor.
Pressure is pressure as long as you don't go above 30 psi you shouldn't have a problem.
If you try it let us know how it works for you.

The other ends were hooked up to the heater. I was able to use a bicycle pump to provide pressure and then immerse the whole thing in water. If you can make a tire the source of your air pressure, you can set the tire for whatever pressure you want and use a similar setup. | | |
