🛠️ PPG2 ELITE Pressure Test Gauge Kit – For Beckett, Suntec, Webster & Danfoss Oil Pumps
The PPG2 ELITE Pressure Test Gauge Kit is a compact, service-grade tool designed for technicians to quickly and accurately test oil burner pump pressures. Unlike the PDPG2 permanent mount kit, the PPG2 is a temporary test kit—attach it during service, take your reading, and remove it when done.
