Building a Digital Spunding Valve

Updated: 4/23/2024

A Spunding Valve allows you to maintain a set pressure. If pressure in the vessel exceeds the set point, it is expelled. It generally consists of an adjustable PRV valve, a tee, a gauge and a way to connect to your keg. Read lots and lots more about Spunding Valves, ways to use them and different build options on our Spunding Valve Resource Post

Building a digital Spunding Valve is as simple as using a digital gauge in your Spunding Valve Build.

digital spunding valve I tried a couple different digital gauges and settled on this one – pictured in the assembly above. The other gauge I tried was much more expensive and didn’t really work well. It drifted wildly. This was a reasonable price and has given me accurate and consistent readings. This photo shows two gauges hooked up to the same keg – agreeing on PSI.

This article contains affiliate links. We may make a small percentage if you use our links to make a purchase. You won’t pay more and you’ll be supporting Homebrew Finds and more content like this. Thank you for your support!

The really nice thing about this digital gauge is the .1 PSI resolution. That’s really handy if you’re using the gauge to try and find leaks. It allows you to see pressure changes more quickly.

My gauge came with this user manual/specifications sheet – front | back. One quick tip… the threads aren’t super long. The first time I put this digital Spunding Valve together, I noticed the pressure dropping, again… the .1 PSI resolution is handy for spotting just this issue! Anyway, I didn’t have the gauge quite tight enough and it was showing a slow leak. Easy fix, I took the gauge off, put a couple extra wraps of teflon tape around it and tightened it a little more. Whammo!

This model is nice because it’s USB powered. USB power blocks are easy to be had. That means no manual wiring and no guessing voltage. And, generally speaking, it’s not as expensive as some of the pre-wired options out there. This also has a speed control. That could potentially be useful for stir plate projects although I have no idea if it would offer the granularity needed for that sort of project.
