Hello,
I am looking for a fitting that will allow be to have a pressure gauge
near the inlet of my city water so I can always see what my pressure
is. I live on a hill near the water tank and our home pressure runs
about 40 psi most times. I would need a tee fitting that I could cut
into the 3/4" copper piping to allow the water through with a port for
the pressure gauge I have [Merrill PG100 with a 1/4" male thread]
Does such a beast exist or am I going to have to build something up
with brass fittings?

Home Depot has a guage that connects to a regular hose fitting. You
could tee it off the washing machine using a hose splitter

Yeah, lots of garden shops sell hose-fitting pressure gauges, for
hard-core lawn irrigation types of folks.
