I must say a manometer is not really important. I look at it to watch the pressure rising inside, which makes me happy. The only use I can think of is checking there is no more pressure when a batch is over, but you can lift the regulator weight with a cloth or a glove and put it back immediately if steam hisses out. If the manometer dies one day I think I'll just plug the hole.

All of this information I am looking for is for installing a good temperature gauge.
The smallest fitting I can find is for 1/4 pipe threads.
I am a finicky perfectionist and like to improve things and get them as accurate as possible.
I set my table saw to where it has zero run out from one end of the fence to the other with a dial indicator.
I check my thermometers buy using boiling water.
Since I am at 400 feet above sea level water boils at 212 degrees.
My digital thermometer reads 212 degrees at a rolling boil in the center of the water.
Thank you for your help
