I’m installing a mechanical oil pressure gauge, by putting in a brass “tee” fitting along with the oil pressure sending unit. I’ve got a brass tee, a 3’ grease fitting line (rated 3600 psi) a reducer fitting and a oil filled pressure gauge. Total cost is $25. I asked the guy if this gauge was appropriate for this use and he said yes. Working pressure will be ~50 psi. Is this gauge ok or do I need an automotive one?
Also, the gauge has an instruction on it to cut off a rubber seal a the top, which I find is odd.
