Is this suitable for measuring mains water pressure?

[indus]

Hi

I'd like to get a gauge for measuring my mains water pressure at various times of day etc.

Keen to pick one up today and as Screwfix is open and around the corner have googled them. I've found this one but am confused as first it says it is adjustable to fit taps but then says suitable for washing machine taps only.

This one has exactly the same fitting but it doesn't say that it is suitable for washing machines only!

Are either of these two suitable for measuring from the garden tap??

Many thanks

Yes. You can measure the static pressure and dynamic pressure

They are the same product, just different makes. Test the water via your garden tap.

Thanks for the prompt reply guys.

Why on earth does it say for washing machine taps only then??

Because it is a 3/4 thread, same as your garden tap.

Pegler hose unions are not 3/4", (b'stard thread) but it is unlikely that you will have one of them fitted.
