Jensen 'Banjo" pressure gauge 0-30 psi / 2 bar - December 2025
« on: November 29, 2024, 06:01:29 pm »
"New batch" 12-5-2025
1.5" face, 0-30 psi, or 2 bar. brass construction. pressure gauge made to fit only Jensen "electrically" heated steam engines. Know what your engine pressure is! price is $35.oo ea.($5 less than last yr.) for the pressure gauge. shipping for 1 unit is $5.00 with only an additional $1.00 per each additional pressure gauge or steam valve added. I take PayPal "friends & family" & will ship carefully. this is probably the only batch I will be making this year. contact me via PM before paying please. USA shipping only.

thanks Jim, because of the difficulty in making these ,it is common for me to have a scrap rate of 10%, but this batch went pretty well.

These gauges are a great addition to the Electric Jensens.

I already have 2 and I'll take another while I can.
I forget, how shall I pay?

  Nice video showing off the fruits of your labor.
I got a kick out of your exhaust piping arrangement.
I understand why you did it - 70's are very 'wet' runners!

Happy steaming,
Wayne

Do you have any 0-30psi Pressure gauges for 1/4-40 or 3/16-40 screw types?

Well No, but I haven't tried it yet. The problem is the stem just barely lends itself to be turned down to 5/16" anything else would need a special stem soldered on.

I Jerry rigged a 1/16 NPT using reducing bushings down to 1/4-40; but it looks wonky.
