Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Depth\Pressure Gauge

Hi All,
 
Thanks for the advice.  I think i'll plumb a gauge in just before the forward hp air inlet to the main tank.  So there will be 1/2 inch through hull, 1/2 inch ball valve, T piece, 1 "T" to gauge, the other to HP one way valve and then air tank.
 
Or, i might just put the divers gauge outside the viewport.  Im actually going to do that anyway as a redundant depth gauge.
 
Kind Regards
James

How about a diver's depth gauge mounted just outside a viewport?

Hi All,
 
I have a couple of questions regarding plumbing as im at that stage now, at last.  Ive nearly completed everything else.
 
1. Depth Gauge.  Where is this supposed to go on the standard K350?  Dont tell me im going to have to add another 1/2 inch pipe nipple pleeeaasse.  I've stuck fairly rigidly to the plans but looking at them now, i cant see where its supposed to go.  Also looking at pictures of other peoples subs, they all seem to have the depth gauge mounted to a standard 1/2 inch nipple.  I cant roll my sub around any more so i really dont want to have to weld in another pipe nipple....Better get practicing my overhead welding...?   Could i pipe it off the high pressure air for the forward tank maybe?
 
2. Same subject.  Dan's Persistance seems to have some sort of diaphram on the other end of the depth gauge inlet.  Whats that?
 
3.  There seems to be litterally hundreds of different pressure gauges i could get.  Anyone recomend anything good? 
 
Thanks as always
James
