Abstract
The present application provides an adapter (20) for a manifold gauge assembly (1) for use on a fluid system, for example an HVAC-R system. The manifold gauge assembly (1) comprises a manifold (3) for connection to the fluid system, and a pressure gauge (14) arranged to detect a fluid pressure in the manifold (3). The adapter (20) comprises a tube (23) having connectors (27, 28) for fluidly connecting the adapter (20) to the pressure gauge (14) and to the manifold (3). The adapter also includes an electronic pressure sensor (21) arranged to detect a fluid pressure in the tube (23), and a communications unit (22) configured to receive data from the electronic pressure sensor (21) and to communicate with a remote device (32).
