The YATO YT-24790 Water Pressure Gauge is a mechanical instrument for measuring water pressure in residential and commercial plumbing installations. It provides clear dial readings to monitor system pressure, identify leaks or pump issues, and support routine maintenance of pipelines, boilers and pumps.
Advantages
The device covers a measuring range up to 1.1 MPa (11 bar) and includes a braided stainless steel hose 300 mm long for flexible connection. It accepts common connector thread sizes (3/4" and 1/2") and uses durable ABS for connector components, combining mechanical reliability with simple, direct readings from the manometer.
Suitable for
- Plumbers performing pressure checks and system diagnostics
- Technicians testing boiler and pump performance
- DIY users checking household water supply pressure
- Routine maintenance of residential and small commercial water systems
When it may not be suitable
This mechanical gauge is intended for general pressure measurement in water installations and may not be suitable where electronic data logging, high-resolution digital readouts, or continuous automated monitoring is required. It is not designed for measuring pressures above its maximum range of 1.1 MPa (11 bar).
Key specifications
- Measuring range: 0 to 1.1 MPa (11 bar)
- Hose length: 300 mm
- Hose material: braided stainless steel
- Connector thread sizes: 1/2" and 3/4" (G1/2, G3/4)
- Connector material: ABS
- Manometer: analog dial
- Application: measurement of water pressure in installations
How to use
Connect the braided stainless steel hose to the system using the appropriate connector size (1/2" or 3/4"), ensuring a secure, leak-free fit. Open the water supply or system port to allow pressure to act on the manometer and read the value from the dial. After measurement, close the connection point and remove the gauge, then store it dry to prevent corrosion of fittings.
What to consider before purchase
- Required connector thread size in your installation (1/2" or 3/4")
- Maximum pressure in your system should not exceed 1.1 MPa (11 bar)
- Need for analog versus digital measurement and data logging
- Access space for connecting a 300 mm hose
Usage recommendations
Inspect threads and hose for damage before each use, tighten connections by hand then secure with appropriate tools to avoid leaks, and store the gauge in a dry place when not in use to prolong service life.
