[bucko64]

All right all i have been building a splitter Check out what I found thread. I finally finished up and gave it a test today the only thing I can say about the power of that thing is HOLY SHEET very pleased how it turned out.One problem though I bought a PSI Gage for it and put it in line from the pump to control valve inlet read 0. Moved it to the push work port still read 0. Am I missing something. Where do you guy's have your's installed?? I'am stumped

bogus

Your gauge is lying to you.

Tee'd into the line from the pump to the valve is the only place you could put the thing anyway.

Was the splitter just idling or were you using it? Most splitters are an open system. Unless your gauge is bad, it should go up when you load the system. It will show what the pressure is when you get to the end of the stroke. Hope this helps!

mine says 0 unless I am into some wood or at one end of the stroke.

Just put some pressure on it. If it still shows 0 take it back.

That's what i thought between the pump and valve with a tee. At an idle or during load 0 nothing must be a bad gage.


Thank's Bucko64
