Id like to fit a pressure gauge to a king keg lid, has anyone done this and how?

Excellent, a few questions if I may

did you drill and just screw it in or is there backing nut, did u use an o ring or other seal, is it a pnuematic gauge (what's max pressure) are those the ones that don't like getting wet? Do you remove it when you clean?

Thanks #-o

There is a back nut and an o-ring but that doesn't really do much as when tightened up it sort of squashes out. I didn't remove it for cleaning ever time, just occationally but I don't use the KK anymore. I have moved on to Cornies. I don't really know anything about the Gauges other than I saw them in a home brew shop and bought them.
