A hub cap for a wheel hub having a cylindrical housing with a closed first
end and an open second end adapted for attachment in an air-tight sealing
arrangement to the outer end of a wheel hub to form a closed air system
in the interior of the wheel hub. An air pressure gauge in an air flow
connection with the closed air system is operable to provide a visual
indication of the air pressure in the closed air system. The air pressure
gauge includes a dial face and a pressure indicating needle moving
relative to the dial face in direct relation to the air pressure within
the closed air system. The dial face includes indicia thereon to assist
an observer to readily identify a breached seal condition within the
wheel hub.
