    That would be quite a difference in readings. Thanks for sharing
    Frank and Dave.

    quote outbdnut2:

    For example: I once read 60 pounds on a 3 HP JW with the checkvalve at the gauge, and if I remember right, it was 80+ with the valve a the cylinder, but it will vary with the length of the hose and the inside diameter, like Frank said – it’s the volume of the hose, and different brands willuse different lengths and ID.
