Jensen 25G need adapter for pressure gauge.
« on: October 01, 2019, 11:39:57 am »
Have a Jensen 25G and looking for a adapter that I can mount my pressure gauge and steam whistle together, I do not want to eliminate the steam whistle for the pressure gauge. Anyone sell something like this or can make me one for a price, or a website where they sell fittings to make a adapter up. I already called Jensen and they do not have one but did tell me they should/will start making the adapter, they had numerous inquires over the years.

Thanks, Rich

A pressure gauge can be mounted in place of the banjo screw , thus retaining the use of your whistle & safety valve.

Thanks for the input St Paul, so the Jensen pressure gauge just screws into the banjo screw? Or some other gauge I need that fits?

Thanks, Rich

The pressure gauge is made in such a way that it replaces the banjo screw.

Is that supplied by Jensen or your creation Bruce?

Jensen does not make these (nobody else does to my knowledge ) I have been making these for a few years now.....when I have the spare time.

That is a very neat mod Bruce!

I know Jensen used to sell the PG adapter for the whistle/SV thread as i have a USG branded one fitted to my #60.
Your nose is before your eyes, so trust it first!

Rich, you will want to order one of those from Bruce (unless you want to make it yourself). Either way you won't regret it. I got a couple from Bruce and they are very well made.

Your right Gil, just ordered one from Bruce. Coming from automotive (racing) background and steam engine models are night and day to me.  ::)
