The Akron Brass 3-1/2" Apparatus Test Gauge Kit is a professional test gauge set designed for use during annual apparatus pump testing and for verifying the accuracy of pump panel gauges. Formerly identified as style TGK-3, this kit is built to provide clear, accurate pressure and vacuum readings in a portable, easy-to-reference configuration.

Features

• Accuracy: ±1 percent accurate liquid-filled gauges designed for reliable readings
• Gauge Size: 3-1/2 inch diameter gauges for improved visibility
• Vacuum Range: 0–30 inches Hg with 0.5 Hg increments
• Pressure Range: 0–400 psi with 5 psi (34 kPa) increments
• Protection: Freeze-protected liquid-filled gauge construction

Mounting and Expandability

• Mounting Space: Dedicated space between pressure and vacuum gauges for an additional remotely mounted pressure gauge
• Compatibility: Designed for remote mounting of a pressure gauge from Akron’s Apparatus Flow Test Kit AFTK-25
• Remote Option: Supports use of the RG-230 remote assembly when adding an extra gauge
• Mounting Plate: 1/4 inch black PVC foam board mounting plate

Ease of Use and Setup

• Hanging Design: Double-break top on the mounting plate allows hanging from apparatus gauge panels, gauge snubbers, or handles
• Visibility: Gauges positioned for quick reference during pump testing
• Test Hoses: 36 inch test hoses connect directly to underwriters test fittings Style 44
• Connections: 1/4 inch male swivels for fast, secure connections to apparatus test fittings

Transport and Protection

• Carrying Case: Heavy-duty carrying case for transport and storage

How is it used

This test gauge kit is used during annual apparatus pump testing or whenever verification of pump panel gauge accuracy is required. The gauges connect directly to underwriters test fittings, allowing operators to compare test readings against panel gauges during pump operation.

Who used it

The kit is intended for fire departments, apparatus maintenance personnel, and service technicians responsible for testing and maintaining fire apparatus pump performance and gauge accuracy.

Maintenance information

The gauges are liquid-filled and freeze-protected to support consistent performance. Storing the kit in its provided heavy-duty carrying case helps protect the gauges, hoses, and mounting plate from damage during transport and when not in use.

Storage information

All components are designed to be stored together in the included carrying case, helping keep the gauges, hoses, and mounting hardware organized and protected between tests.
