After replacing a failed regulator, I decided to reuse the old gauge from it in a project. I used a 1/8NPT27 tap to cut threads in the inside of a male Quick Connect fitting. Then I screwed the two parts together and wrapped electrical tape around it to provide a softer grip. (The tape is not for pressure or sealing leaks).
I can use the gauge to check the pressure coming from an air hose, without having to go look at the stock gauges on the air compressor. Our compressor stops at 120 psi, but the gauge can measure up to 160 psi.
