Have recently purchased one of these for measuring mains pressure in properties to determine if it is suitable for certain types of appliances. It is advertised as "fits onto most conventional 1/2 and 3/4 taps", but the rubber connection with jubilee clip doesnt seem to want to fit onto anything! Does anyone have one of these, will they only go onto certain taps? Do you need adapters for others. Thanks.

on ly goes on what it fits, remeber all the old taps years ago were nice small bore and fitted those hose clips. then we got all modern with flow limiters! Buy one with a standard garden tap sized screw on it, bout 10-15 pounds, and some garden hose adaptors as well, they dont tend to blow off when you turn the taps on

The pressure gauge you have splits at the brass section so you use this on threads on out side taps and washing machines.then if you use the rubber part with the jubilee clip that is for connecting on to taps.i just use the £12 one from Plumbfix and make up adapters to suit.
 
Got the Monument one which screws onto the w/m valve myself and trying to figure out how to make a connection for it so it can go over taps too. Any ideas?

3/4 male to 15mm compression put a bit copper on end get a hose that will fit over most taps/15mm pipe use jubilee clips...

just a thought probs wont be good if its high pressure
 
With that pressure gauge on a wash machine valve (which sometimes have check valves) will only read a standing pressure not working. You need to be able to test while running a tap for a working pressure.
 
Thanks people, I wasnt aware it split, the taps nowadays are bulkier, lots of ways to connect on to them though agreed, you can get them clamp things that look like a trv head for going onto mixer taps cant you, that will conert it to a hose, then just go from there i s'pose, lots of different ways though i guess
 
This is what I use. It has the rubber thing but I have never used it. I use a push fit fitting and have a number of other adapters - never trusted rubber after the incident. Monument do a standalone one for a 3/4 bsp fitting washing machine or outside tap if you just want a quick check .

£270? Pffft I'll add that to the bottom of my 'tools to get' list.
