For my off grid cabin, I'd like to plumb in a water pressure gauge in the cabin to display the current pressure in the system, so I know roughly when it's time to run the lake water intake pump to fill my pressure tanks. Would be nice to know before jumping in the shower that I'm going to run out of water.
Anyhow - I have this nice old 1945 Sea Water pressure gauge that has what appears to be a 1/4" NPT tapered fitting that I'd like to mount in the bathroom I'm just finishing up.
It seems there are adapters out there to take it from 1/4" NPT to something else, but I want to make sure I get the right one. I've got a standard 3/8" Dahl miniball valve in the right location, so I'm looking for an NPT -> ? adapter so I can then mate the gauge and the supply valve with a standard braided line like I would a faucet.
