you can use the pipe that goes onto the dump valve (black one in pic ! ) just cut it somewhere and put the t piece in and it will work fine.

i would check your other connections other than the vacuum hose as that is the correct one as confirmed by a few blob owners already
if its a prosport check the connector is plugged in correctly on the back of the gauge as the dont fit well at all

I had this exact same problem when i fitted mine.As above it should work of there,anyway in the end i found the needle was stuck. It was a ( revotec ) gauge and i just gave it a split second blast of air of the compressor,the needle moved and its been ok ever since.
