Installing manometer on brand new LFU5B-Z3 3/4 PRV

[yannick]

Hi

Can the LFU5B prv accomodate a manometer?
I see pictures on the net showing the valve with a manometer attached to it.

However I don’t see a screw that can be replaced by a manometer (lf25aub comes with one you just unscrew and screw back the manometer and voilà)

For reference, I want to do this :

But I have this under the PRV:

As you see I would be supposed to have a hole on the "bigger" plug. Am I supposed to remove it or...?

typical for prv from watts, we order with the suffix G- with gauge tapping or GG- for gauge tapping and 0-100 gauge.
Manometers don't get used for such pressure ranges at all.
Not typically stocked, we just order.

Do you know if it’s possible to turn the PRV I have (which visibly doesn’t come with the gauge tapping) into a gauge tapped PRV? Perhaps by ordering the gauge tapped brass cap? Much thanks for your input

You’d have to contact Watts or drill and tap.
