Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

(OP)
The pressure gauge has a brass male 1/4" BSPT thread. Is there an adapter with a female BSPT on one end with a pressure washer and locking nut the other?

Low pressure only--vessel wall only 1mm thick, 4" diameter cylinder wall so slight curvature, pressures up to around 30psi.

RE: Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

Google "tank fitting"

RE: Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

(OP)
Great, that seems to be the terminology I was missing (well it lead me too "tank outlet" which is getting me somewhere).

Cheers.

Or "bulkhead"

RE: Fittings required for mounting pressure gauge through vessel wall

(OP)
Getting closer still with 'bulkhead'. Haven't found anything as low as 1/4" yet, and in brass as this is for a boiler. But definitely on the right track. Thanks.
