Hey I called my local Home Depot, and sure enough, it was the same person who didn't know what pressure rated PVC pipe was. I asked if they carried pressure gauges, and the person didn't know what they were. They actually had to hook me up with the head of the plumbing department. He said he "couldn't find" the kind of pressure gauge I needed. Should I look there myself or search elsewhere?

| Looks like a great little guage! You will want to consider tapping if you havn't already. |

Get hold of the guy in the air tool section. That's where there at. The brand should be Campbell Hausfeld or something like that. The threads are 1/4".
Wow I really spend too much time at HD  |

Oh and Spudstuff, that picture with the shark attacking the person on the ladder under the helicopter is a proven fake. A shark under the Golden Gate Bridge? Ah well, most of them are, but it's still cool!
(sorry, just clicked on it for fun)
Anyway, would my bike shop sell me a schrader (spelling?) valve?

| check plumbing supply stores for a schrader, they are commonly used on pressure tanks for home water systems. |

| Well, I've worked at Home Depot before and we had pressure gauges in both the air power (compressor) section as well as right next to the sprinkler valves in the plumbing section. |

| And they won't let me work there just because I'm seventeen. Even just pushing in buggies all day, you gotta be eighteen. |
