Govnair Micro Gauges


These are just one of those cool gadgets, that aren't really necessary, but are trick and cool just the same. Made by Govnair in England, and distributed through WDP, NPS and Pro-Team, these gauges are available in both 0-1200 psi, and 0-4000 psi ranges.

Micro gauge vs. regular gauge

As you can see, the Micro is less than half the diameter of the usual gauge we find on HP and nitrogen systems. In actuality, it's even slightly smaller in diameter than a quarter!
The tiny face and gradients are admittedly a bit hard to read, and if you are looking to set your pressure at exactly, say, 425 psi, there is a little guesswork involved. However, it is easy enough to see if your tank is half full, or near-empty, or that your output is near the pressure you'd like.

They attach just like a normal gauge, with a 1/8-NPT nipple on the back. The body of the gauge itself has wrench flats for installation. The face seems a bit thicker plastic than usual gauges, and may be a bit more resistant to cracking if hit by a paintball.

Those of you who like to have a gauge in an odd location, such as on the body of your 'Mag, or on the vertical regulator, will appreciate this unit's compact size.
