Petromax Manometer for HK150/HK250/HK350/HK500 Lanterns – Brass Gauge 0–3 Bar

The Petromax brass manometer is a purpose-built gauge designed to accompany the HK series pressure lanterns in daily use and outdoor adventures. It threads into the upper part of the tank, and a dedicated manometer washer seals the interface so air cannot pass through during operation. This combination helps stabilize pressure across lighting sessions, contributing to a steady and predictable flame when you need reliable illumination in camp or at home.

The scale is clearly marked from 0 to 3 bars, with the optimal range highlighted in red, making quick checks possible even in low-light conditions. The polished brass housing provides a durable, timeless look that aligns with Petromax's tradition of rugged, high-performance lighting gear. At about 2 ounces and with compact dimensions of 1 inch by 1.6 inches by 1.3 inches, the unit remains unobtrusive while still conveying essential information at a glance.
