vacuum gauges on boosters?
I have a 2,000 tap woods that I converted over to a wet/dry line system last year. I have approximately 25-30 vacuum boosters where the 3/4 mailines come into the wet dry dry line. The 3/4 lines are all valved so that they can be shut down for washing and vacuum leak detection, but I don have vacuum gauges installed on them. What I was thinking of doing was installing a mainline saddle entrance near the valve, add 2-3 feet of tubing and placing a stubby adapter on the end. Plug stubby with a "T". Do this at each valved vacuum booster. Then take a vacuum gauge and adapt it to fit a throw away spout adapter. When checking for vacuum leaks, just pull out your retrofitted vacuum gauge and place it on the stubby by the valve. Let the system equalize it self, close the valve and watch your gauge. Does this seem like a plausible option, rather than installing 25-30 gauges throught out thte woods? Or does somebody have a different idea?
