Apeks Submersible Pressure Gauge (SPG) with Hose – Reliability & Precision

The Apeks Pressure Gauge with hose is one of the most trusted measuring instruments in the diving world. Manufactured by the British brand famous for top-tier regulators, this SPG offers unparalleled precision in tank pressure monitoring and exceptional resistance to harsh underwater conditions. The nickel-plated brass housing and tempered glass window make this device virtually indestructible, ideal for both recreational and technical divers. The clear, luminescent dial allows for easy reading even in low visibility or during night dives.

Key Benefits and Features

• Exceptional Durability: The nickel-plated brass case protects the precision movement from impacts and corrosion.
• Clarity in All Conditions: The white dial with phosphorescent markings provides excellent underwater contrast.
• Safety First: Features a tempered glass window and a pressure relief valve (blow-out plug) on the back of the casing for emergency venting.
• High Operating Range: Scaled up to 360 bar to monitor gas supply in any configuration.
• Complete Set: Includes a high-quality high-pressure (HP) hose of standard length, ready to be connected to your first-stage regulator.

Technical Specifications

Usage and Installation Instructions

Screw the pressure gauge hose into the high-pressure port (marked as HP) on the first-stage regulator. Before installation, ensure the O-ring on the hose thread is clean and undamaged. Tighten with a wrench, but avoid using excessive force. When opening the cylinder valve, always hold the gauge dial facing away from you for maximum safety.

Maintenance and Care

After every dive, rinse the gauge and hose thoroughly in clean, fresh water. Avoid hitting the device against hard equipment or the seabed. Regularly inspect the HP hose for any signs of bubbling or fraying. It is recommended to have the gauge serviced along with your regulator set annually or every 100 dives at an authorized Apeks service center.
