valley industries pk-qcg-5000 pressure washer gauge, brown

Works great a show perfect psi for my pressure washer! Saved me a $1,000 from not blowing up my pump!

Quality item that will save time and money!

I use a couple of these on our power washers and it's great to monitor the pressure and adjust the unloader when necessary.

Worked perfectly. Just plugged in with the quick connect fittings between the pump and the hose. My pressure washer has adjustable pressure to 3000 psi. Got instant and accurate pressure readings from 0 to 3000 psi. And with the dail being liquid filled made it easy to read (steady needle) Just what I was looking for.

I pressure wash part time commercially and this little gem helped me learn that my 7 year old 2800 psi pressure washer was only outputting at most 2700 psi. With a simple turn of the c@t pump's unloader valve while this gauge was connected, I was able to achieve over 3000psi safely. Remember if you do this to your machine, maintain at least a 10% pressure drop difference from working pressure to non-working pressure, in my case my drop went down to 2400psi, double the minimum safe setting according to c@t pumps website. I left it connected while I pressure washed, and it's interesting to see how many different pressure levels your machine stops at between trigger pulls. A must have item for a commercial user. Thanks Northern Tool, not many merchants carry such a gauge!

This gauge is very nice, it is liquid filled so it absorbs vibration well. Large easy to read face and quick connect fittings make it very easy to disconnect when not in use. Would recommend to anyone to monitor the performance of their pump and nozzles.

When I received my pressure washer it had very low pressure. After investigating I found that the pressure regulator has never been adjusted. I spoke with technical support and they sent me the gauge. It was an easy task to set the suggested pressure and I tightened the jam nut to finish the job. I actually keep the gauge on the machine and can adjust the various pressures required for the job I am doing.

It works well, but is delicate. Mine worked great until I dropped it on the concrete. Nothing appeared physically broken, but the needle no longer points at zero when it's not in use, and the readings seem to be consistently off by about 1000psi post-drop. It's my fault for dropping it, obviously I broke something inside, but it would be nice if it were more heavy duty. Before the drop it worked well, gave consistent readings that seemed to be accurate judging by the ratings for my pressure washer. So it works great, just don't drop it.

Purchased this pressure gauge when I purchased the pressure washer. Overall very useful to determine the output pressure when I need less than 4000 PSI. The only complaint I have is that it leaks; not around the quick disconnect, but from the gauge itself.

Product was defective on the female end. Tried two different qd sets, from two different major home repair stores. Neither would work on the female end. However, I was impressed with Boone in tech support because after explaining the situation, he is shipping me a new gauge @ no cost. He also agreed it was defective. Maybe the one coming will work.
