New pressure gauge for regulator

Hi all.

I have the TC-20T Compressor

I would like to replace the pressure gauge with a larger one - what do I need to look for? What size fitting is that? I’m seeing some on ebay for pools, and other applications - would that work as long as it’s PSI? Some are 1/4" fitting some are 1/8" - anyone know what size these Paasche regulators use?

Thanks for any suggestions or advice!

Hi,

I don’t know if this applies to your TC-20T. It looks similar to my TC910 from Badger (they look the same but the Badger has an enclosure) and I, too, replaced the pressure gage. I used a 0-60 PSI (got from Ebay) with a 1/8" NPT male thread and it fit fine. Picture of it in THIS thread. Mine is 1.5" diameter and I wanted 0-60 PSI rather than 0-100. HTH

Hi Bick - thanks for the reply! Your regulator does look just like mine and that’s the type of gauge I’m looking for. Much easier to see - and just PSI so easier to read. You say yours was 1/8" - mine “seems” bigger but I’m not near it at the moment. I’ll measure it when I get home. Should be the same I would think.

Thanks!
