Ametek 132527 Pressure Gauge 6 in 0-160 Psi Lower Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 132527 is an analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial fluid-handling applications. It features a 6-inch dial for clear, at-a-distance readability and a lower-mount, 1/2-inch threaded connection for direct inline or panel installation. The gauge reads from 0 to 160 psi with an accuracy of 0.5 percent of scale, meeting the demands of technicians who need reliable pressure indication during commissioning, diagnostics, or routine system checks. The thermoplastic case offers resistance to corrosion and impact in typical field conditions. Licensed trade professionals install this gauge as a permanent system component or as a service instrument.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, hydronic heating loops, domestic plumbing, and pool or irrigation pressure monitoring. The 6-inch dial size makes it a practical choice for mechanical rooms and equipment panels where readings must be taken from a distance. The lower-mount configuration allows vertical pipe or manifold connection without redirecting the dial face away from the technician.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial for high-visibility pressure readings at distance
• 0 to 160 psi range covers common HVAC and plumbing system pressures
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable diagnostic and monitoring use
• Lower-mount, 1/2-inch threaded connection for straightforward inline installation
• Thermoplastic case resists corrosion in wet or humid mechanical environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-handling systems requiring a 1/2-inch lower-mount connection and a 0 to 160 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing an existing gauge or threading in a new one. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads per applicable IPC or IFGC standards before installation. Do not use the gauge body or dial housing as leverage when tightening; use a wrench on the hex of the threaded connection only.
