How many of you have run across transformers with no pressure gauges? You can find compound vacuum pressure gauges online that will fit your Tygon hoses that are about 20-50 dollars so you don't jeopardize the blanket.

Here is one that was recently suggested by another tech at our shop: https://www.amazon.com/Winters-Stainless-Pressure-Internals-Vacuum-0-15/dp/B0087UXVEC

We see alot of them, mostly with the pressure relief valve (with a pull ring). Usually we suggest adding a gauge and regulator like the Qualitrol 070-35C so we don't have to keep messing with it.
