I used this on a port of the back flow preventer in our yard irrigation system. We'd been having spotty coverage with some of our sprinklers, and working on the sprinklers themselves never really solved the problems. By using this pressure gauge I discovered the irrigation water pressure at the source was 45 PSI with no flow but dropped MUCH lower when a zone was running. I adjusted the irrigation system's pressure regulator to provide a better pressure even when a zone is active and now all of our sprinklers are working MUCH better and giving full coverage.
In hind sight all of this is obvious but it all started by installing this gauge and getting real data on what was going on.

About this item
Brass and Stainless Steel wetted parts for measuring non-corrosive liquid and gas pressure. Such as water, oil pressure test. Compatible with regulator, hvac, beer kegs, brew setups, hydraulic force and etc.
Circular dial is enclosed in a 304 stainless steel case for corrosion resistance. Glycerin filled inhibits pointer flutter and prevents damage to the internal mechanics from vibration and pulsation.
Measures pressure with dual scale (0-5000 psi/0-35000 kPa). Display accuracy is + or - 3/2/3% over the entire range of the gauge
IP67 waterproof prevent condensation inside caused fogging of the window. Offer clear reading.
Lower mount male connection with 1/4" NPT thread
