Vacuum gauge - where?

[veesix]

I need to replace a 1-1/2", 1/8 NPT vacuum gauge. Anyone know where I'd find one, preferably UK?

I've had 2 from eBay (via China) so far that turned out to be 2" 1/4 BSP when they arrived.

Cheers.

edit: needs to have the port on the rear too!

can you not get a 1/8 ntp to 1/4 BSP adaptor?

Try phoning "Flowfit"

Fluid Controls Ltd in Aldermaston is worth a try, but they mainly do pricey stainless stuff.

Do you see a theme emerging here? US pipe threads are difficult to find in (or out of) Europe... Any NPT that are available seem to start at 1/4".

try your local refrigeration / air conditioning place, they'll have vacuum guages for the fridge pipework tests, they'll probably have what you need in stock.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look.

It's for one of these, so using an adapter to BSP would leave the gauge sitting proud:

The gauge is available as a spare part, but with shipping and import duty it would cost as much as I paid for the entire thing.
