Pressure Gauge

This device measures the air pressure of a pipe system so that you can monitor whether there are leaks in the plumbing. When your pipe system is drained of all the water, you can pressurize the pipes and monitor the pressure value with the gauge. If pressure decreases over time, you can reasonably assume that there is a leak somewhere in the system and further investigation will be required before turning on the water.
