The Gas Pressure Test Point (SKU: 003909) is an essential tool for LPG system diagnostics. Installed immediately downstream from the regulator, this fitting allows technicians and users to confirm that gas is flowing correctly and at the desired reduced pressure.
With a 5/16″ SAE Male to 3/8″ BSPT Male configuration, it’s a compatible and convenient addition for RV gas systems, caravans, trailers, or any LPG-regulated line where testing pressure is required.
Important: BSPT threads require gas-rated thread tape for proper sealing. Always test for leaks after any installation or adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I install this test point?
It should be installed just after the LPG regulator to allow testing of regulated pressure.
Can I install this without thread tape?
No, the 3/8″ BSPT male thread requires gas-rated PTFE thread tape to prevent leaks.
Is this compatible with BBQ regulators?
It depends on the regulator output thread type. If your system uses 3/8″ BSPT and 5/16″ SAE, then yes.
How do I test pressure with this fitting?
Once installed, you can use a compatible pressure gauge or manometer to check system output from this fitting.
Product Evaluation & Installation Advice
This fitting is recommended for:
- Gas technicians testing regulator output pressure
- RV, trailer, and caravan owners managing LPG systems
- Workshop maintenance of gas appliances or setups
It’s a small but critical component that can prevent under- or over-pressure issues in LPG systems. Not suitable for high-pressure systems upstream of regulator.
Installation Tips:
- Apply gas-rated PTFE thread tape to the 3/8″ BSPT male thread
- Screw into the outlet side of the regulator or testing port
- Check with soapy water or leak detector spray for any leaks
- Use pressure gauge or manometer to test downstream pressure
