French term or phrase: mano-régulateur
This is part of the specifications of a pneumatic engine. I'm sure there's a straightforward translation in English (I've found plenty of hits on Google), but it eludes me!

Thanks in advance.

regulator pressure guage
Explanation:
Since it's in an engine mano is probably short for manometre which can be translated as pressure gauge or manometer.
