TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTORS

摘要

A gauge adaptor apparatus allows easy connection and removal of a gauge to a hydronic system or other fluidic piping system for taking a pressure or temperature reading. The gauge adaptor apparatus is compatible with standard hose connections and can be used to quickly and easily add a gauge onto a hydronic system without requiring extensive labor and without needing to halt the operation of the system. Gauge adaptor apparatuses can be used to take one-time readings, or they can be left permanently installed for ongoing readings of the system. Gauge adaptor apparatuses take up little space, are highly compatible with existing fluid valves and system configurations, can be installed quickly and easily without requiring much labor, and can be easily removed for system draining, servicing, or replacement.

1. An apparatus for connecting a gauge to a hydronic system, the apparatus comprising:
a body defining a flow channel; a union fitting at one end of the flow channel connectable to a drain valve of a hydronic system; a bleeder valve in fluid communication with the flow channel; and a gauge fitting in fluid communication with the flow channel, wherein the gauge fitting is configured to connect with a gauge.
