    Hmm

    do any of you guys have a pic of the way this thing is supposed too be hooked up?we tried at the supply house,and it would pull down nicely but as soon as you blank it off it flys right back up,we tried there way of hooking it up{j/bs}with the steel tubing and we got the same results.

    They suck, they don't work and don't give you the real accuracy you'll expect, so don't even bother with it.

    Throw it at the supply house managers head for even suggesting you buy it, then get a Thermal or Yellow Jacket.

    Thermal VacCheck

    It costs a bit but you'll never regret buying it and never wonder about it's readout. Analog is the only way to go on a vacuum gauge.

    There's two different types of sensors for the micron gages out today.

    One surpases the other.

    I have been using the CPS round ones, they mount on a tee right on the pump and don't get dirty as often.
