Need a new pressure/temp gauge

[taxidermist]

I have a miljoco like this one http://www.amazon.com/Miljoco-PB300821-2-50-Pressure-Temperature-Connection/dp/B007W5D2TW and it was leaking all over the place when i went into the shop yesterday.

Does anyone recommend a better one that might last more than 4 years.

I wish I could find a good quality tridcator every brand I have used is low quality. Uniweld had some fairly decent ones for awhile. Possibly a lab quality gauge supplier?

Consider two separate gauges, you can buy great quality pressure gauges, off the shelf. I like the stainless case, liquid filled type best. Then install a temperature gauge, or digital read type along side the pressure gauge.

I agree, I use a strap-on temp gauge now for leak-proofness...............

It's worth the $20, I'd use it only on copper pipe though for good heat transfer.

You can get them yet but be ready shell out some bucks.

I couldn't believe the low quality feel & appearance of the only tridicator I found on the shelf at my supply place the other day. Plus it had the mount out the back which means it would face to my ceiling if I put it in where my current one is - hard to read that way. I'll keep looking...
