Ametek 132513 Pressure Gauge 6 in 0-300 Psi Lower Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 132513 is an analog pressure gauge designed for industrial and mechanical system monitoring. It features a 6-inch thermoplastic dial with a lower-mount 1/2-inch thread connection and measures pressure from 0 to 300 psi. Accuracy is rated at 0.5 percent of scale, making it suitable for applications where precise pressure readings are required. The thermoplastic case offers corrosion resistance in a lightweight housing. This gauge is installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who need reliable, easy-to-read pressure indication at a glance.

The AMETEK 132513 is suited for residential and commercial mechanical systems where lower-mount pressure measurement is required. Typical install scenarios include boiler systems, compressed air lines, water supply systems, and HVAC refrigerant or fluid circuits. The 6-inch dial face provides clear visibility from a distance, making it practical for panel-mounted or pipe-mounted applications in both tight mechanical rooms and open equipment areas.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial face for high visibility and easy reading at distance
• Pressure range of 0 to 300 psi covers a wide range of mechanical system applications
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable pressure indication
• Lower-mount 1/2-inch thread connection for standard pipe fitting installation
• Thermoplastic case provides lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for mechanical systems requiring a 6-inch lower-mount analog gauge with a 1/2-inch threaded connection and a 0 to 300 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or mechanical contractor. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any pressure gauge. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the 1/2-inch male threads and tighten to hand-tight plus a controlled number of turns per standard practice — do not overtighten the thermoplastic body. Verify the system pressure range does not exceed the gauge maximum rating before returning the system to service.
