Ametek 132526 Pressure Gauge 6 in 1/2 in Lower Mount 0-100 Psi

Product Description

The AMETEK 132526 is an analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping applications. It features a 6-inch dial for easy reading at a distance and a lower-mount 1/2-inch threaded connection for direct inline installation. The Bourdon-tube style gauge reads from 0 to 100 psi with an accuracy of 0.5 percent of scale, making it suitable for applications where reliable pressure verification is required. The thermoplastic case provides resistance to corrosion and impact in typical mechanical room and utility environments. Licensed technicians and journeyman plumbers install this gauge as part of routine system instrumentation.

This gauge is well suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a durable, readable pressure instrument is needed at a panel, manifold, pump outlet, or test port. The 6-inch dial size is commonly specified in applications where readability from several feet away is a priority. Lower-mount (bottom connection) configuration allows vertical stem installation directly into a tee, valve body, or pressure port. It is installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and licensed plumbers working on hydronic heating, chilled water, domestic water, and compressed-air systems.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial for clear, distance-readable pressure indication
• 0 to 100 psi range covers a wide variety of residential and commercial system pressures
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable instrumentation-grade readings
• Lower-mount 1/2-inch threaded connection for direct vertical inline installation
• Thermoplastic case resists corrosion and impact in mechanical room environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation gauge for residential and light commercial piping systems requiring a 6-inch lower-mount analog pressure gauge with a 1/2-inch threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing gauge or fitting the new gauge into the pressure port. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/2-inch male threads before installation; do not overtighten, as thermoplastic-cased gauges can crack under excessive torque. Verify that system operating pressure does not exceed the gauge range during normal and transient conditions.
