370 pressure gauge took a dump..

Other than freezing, what would kill it?

Replacement fired right up...

Is the needle pushed all the way to the otherside of the "stop"?

 

[Mikey P]

No, its in the normal Off position.

They go for no reason at all sometimes and other times they last as long as the machine.

Could be a piece of debris got stuck in the orifice of the gauge

I hear frying it in the Las Vegas inferno is tough on them.

Did it still have glycerin in it? Vibration?

 

[Mikey P]

Loaded with Glycerine

excess vibration or a solid shock can unseat the internals, used to happen relatively regularly on horticultural spraying setups.
ie I'd replace a gauge about every 2 yrs on a high use unit

I bought this guy off EBay. No idea if it's going to work. A fraction of the price. Hopefully it doesn't fly off and hit me in the head.

If that is pic of exact 1 you bought it says its for air pressure.. It may work perfectly fine as pressure is pressure. I dont know if they're made differently for air vs water pressure?

Yeah I noticed that after I purchased hopefully it will be ok.
