pressure gauge location

[pontiacman]

I would like to verify the current pressure on a montana 5740c, and was curious as to the best location. Also, should any place in the system read the same. (plugged into rear remotes vs loader quick connects)
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Install it before the first valve.

I built one like KennyD did in the above link. Just plugs into the QC.

Or were you looking to permanently mount it ?

If you used Kennyd's setup wouldnt that deadend system?

That's the idea, if you're not planning on leaving it installed.

Ive read other posts that say not to deadend

If you're checking the relief valve opening pressure, you need to dead-end the system to force the relief to open. Momentarily forcing the flow over the relief valve won't do any harm.
