Pressure Gauge Threads?

Some owners feel they have to Tee into the hydraulic line to see what is happening with the relief valve setting.
That is unnecessary.
Assuming your loader has quick connects, you want a pressure gauge that has a quick connect fitting. You unplug one of the loader lines and plug in the gauge. Move your control to direct flow to the gauge and read your relief valve setting. A few seconds and you have the answer.
You can buy a 0-3,000 psi gauge anywhere including a local hydraulics shop and they can provide a male quick connect fitting to fit the gauge they supply.

I agree with Dave ..... no TEE needed ..... the parts are about 20 bucks or so....
the kit costs over 50 bucks......
yup - I bought a kit too - 7 years ago - live and learn!!! Now I would piece it together!

I built mine using a tee and a male and female quick connect. I need the female end to connect to the FEL valve and the male end to connect to the rear remotes. And I can use it inline or not... for the cost of a couple fittings I liked the flexibility it gave me.
