To Test and Adjust Gas (Water Column) Pressure

There are two (2) types of devices commonly used to measure column pressure. They are spring and mechanical- type gauges and manometers. The spring and mechanical-type gauge is not recommended, because it is easily damaged and not always accurate. A manometer is simply a glass or transparent plastic tube with a scale in inches. When filled with water and pressure applied, the water in the tube rises showing the exact water column pressure.

NOTE: Manometers are available from the factory by ordering ADC P/N 122804.
