Unpressurized - Electric

Matches my oil pressure gauge perfectly. I closed the plastic line and installed copper. Many trails won't let you run plastic lines to your gage pressure, I did this for safety reasons

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Damaged

Exceptional application, outstanding results!

I used this kit to fit a 1.5" glycerine filled meter into my Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. This worked fantastic as it included fittings for both ends which saved me a few bucks compared to buying adapters.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Excellent copper line

My husband uses this copper line for his garden tractor. It was the perfect size he was looking for. My husband can shorten the hose to whatever length he needs, which is what he really needs. It is great quality and we are happy with our purchase.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No.

easy to install:

is much better than plastic line, easy to install. I would recommend if you are adding an oil level sensor to your car or truck no doubt I have already struggled and lost with plastic cord lol this cord comes with everything I need and is quick to fit great product

Pros
  • dope sensor kits 🔥
Cons
  • some flaws

Great alternative to plastic bingt

I know the heat resistant plastic tube that comes with the gauge should work but I have never trusted plastic where there is a heat source that can ruin everything. I now have peace of mind driving my old '58 Ford Ranchero.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

leaks all over the floor

Brass nuts are weak and prone to cracking and chipping. Maybe they are what they're supposed to be, but they leak when they're not tight. It's like a VERY fine line between a leaky gauge and a broken thread. Edit to add that even if you get it right and it doesn't spill, it will eventually come loose and spill oil onto your floorboards.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • negative gift

BREAK! BAD CONNECTIONS!

I've seen a couple of reviews mentioning stripped threads on the fittings but I thought 'No way! Bosch is a good brand!” Well, after installation, I cleaned up oil on the carpet of my 1948 Ford hardware. Luckily it didn't damage the threads on the gauge (I checked with fittings made from an old plastic pipe) so I'm going to the hardware store now, which is where YOU should go before you make the same mistake.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Safety

You'd better go to local hardware and buy.

Torn or defective internal thread. I had to go to the fittings and buy a new compression fitting and coupler. Cost me $3. Still, it's better to go to a local store and buy the hardware yourself. This is cheap Chinese quality at its finest. Absolutely annoyed that I had to stop work and drive to the store, which probably cost me $3 for gas and 45 minutes of my time. Thus, the value of these has increased compared to the purchase price. I saw it at Advanced Auto Parts for $10, so it's way…

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Finish
Cons
  • Secret
