Test Gauge Form

Most States, as well as general industry standards, specify annual accuracy verification of test gauges that are used to determine the working condition of backflow prevention assemblies. The accepted accuracy range for differential pressure test gauges is ±0.2 psid.

Drop off your gauge at our Portland, Oregon office or ship to us. Please review our Shipping Instructions below and enclose the gauge shipping form

If you need a new gauge please contact us or see our Equipment Page, we offer a great bargain on a Tester Starter Kit that comes in a padded case with test fittings, sight tube, bleed valve arrangement, a test report booklet and current gauge accuracy form.
