Abstract: The pressure indicator has a body provided with an attachment shank having a pressure fluid passage. A cylinder bore is located at one end of the body communicating with the passage and has a threaded open end. An end plug having a bore and a counterbore is snugly threaded into the open end. A piston is nested in the cylinder bore and has a piston rod axially extending through the cylinder bore and projecting through and outwardly of the plug. A compression spring is interposed between the plug and piston and yieldably biases the piston towards said one end of the cylinder bore. The piston is variably movable longitudinally against the spring on application of pressure to the shank passage. A bearing or bushing is nested within the plug bore and axially and guidably receives the piston rod.
