Is the existing one on your pump back or side mount?

The existing pressure gauge is not on the pump itself (pictured above), it's on the big round filter thing that is attached to the pump.

OK. You need to look at the gauge and see if the stem is on the side or the back. Purchase one that is similar to the existing.

It is easy to replace the gage. One important tip the body it threads into is plastic and the threads are tapered and will split or crack the housing so rape with Teflon tape and screw in to start very little force then fire up the pump and tighten till there's no drip and at that point stop or at most an 1/8 turn more.
