The 5 Best Co2 tank gauges (2023 reviews)

The ferroday co2 tank gauge's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. This is a 0-60 psi cO2 regulator. It features a heavy-duty forged brass body, well made connections, and exquisitely crafted pressure release valve to prevent any kind of gas leakage. It allows adjustment of psi to device and has a shutoff valve on the outlet of the regulator. The pressure rises a couple psi and then you have to adjust it several times, bleeding gas between each adjustment.

It is made of a sintered metal filter in the stem keeps dirt out of the regulator. The pressure knob is definitely lacking precision, it's jumpy and not fluid. It is easy to take on/off without a wrench. The gauge goes on easy and after minor adjustments during first 24 hours is holding the desired co2 pressure of 10psi 4 days later.

Why We Like This:

Releases pressures at about 50 psi for safety concerns
Low pressure dial allow to set up an output pressure
Reads tank pressure based on temperature

Best With No leaks: Taprite Co2 tank gauge

Buy on Amazon

This gauge only goes up to 2000psi instead of the 3000psi on the old Micromatic gauge so there's actually more of a usable range because a full CO2 tank will never go above 2000psi. It is the standard size for regulators used with kegerators etc. It is used to split a dual regulator into two singles. The gauge comes pre-wrapped with teflon tape so its just a matter of turning off the tank, bleeding out the co2, unscrewing the nut on the left side and then screwing this gauge in.

The regulator that comes with it is a single gauge which only tells you the pressure in the line and not in the tank. It is great with no leaks.

Why We Like This:

Well built, feels heavy in the hand
Nice replacement gauge for bottle pressure
Good co 2 gas gauge replacement
Installed really easy and even had teflon pre-wrapped

Best With tap: Sparc Co2 tank gauge

Next on the list, we've got yet another gauge that manages to win our hearts. It's the sparc co2 tank gauge and it's widely considered as gauge that has the most suitable features. It works great and keeps the co2 pressure where you want it. It has two gauge displays and it is supplied with 2 o-ring washers. The connection to the co2 tank is right hand thread. It allows for quick swaps of kegs or tanks. The gauge needles are jumpy, the pressure is never consistent. This product is designed for use in draft beer, kombucha, and similar setups.

The gauges show up to 80 psi but the relief valves start bleeding off pressure at 55 psi. This is accurate and easy to use.

It can be turned to adjust pressure up or down then pushes back in to lock in pressure. The knobs have push locks on them to prevent tampering. It is lighter weight and stronger than zinc bonnet regulators and it will not corrode in wet environments.

This regulator is also O-ring sealed, so you don't need any CO2 washers with this, which is just an added benefit. The plastic popping out is necessary to adjust pressure.
