PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a measuring apparatus by which a tap water pressure in a general household can be measured easily by a method wherein a water-reception-side implement at a simple connecting implement which is composed of a water-supply-side implement and of the water-reception-side implement which can be connected to, and disconnected from, the water-supply-side implement is provided at the pressure introduction part of a pressure gage. SOLUTION: A water-reception-side implement 3x at a general one-touch simple connecting implement 3 which is used for a tap water connection is attached to the tap-water connection side of a hose 2. By using the water-reception-side implement 3x, a pressure gage 1 is connected to tap water. The feed water hose 6 of a washing machine 5 is connected to a faucet (a tap water stopcock) 4 by using the one-touch simple connecting implement 3. When a tap water pressure is measured, a water- reception-side implement 3b which is attached to the side of the feed water hose 6 from a water-supply-side implement 3a attached to the side of the faucet 4 is disconnected in the simple connecting implement 3 used to connect the washing machine 5 to tap water. Then, instead of the water-reception-side implement 3b for the washing machine 5, the water-reception-side implement 3x for the pressure gage 1 is connected to the water-supply-side implement 3a the pressure gage 1 is connected to the tap water, and the tap water pressure is measured.
