Ametek 132529 Pressure Gauge 6 in 0-300 Psi Lower Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 132529 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, a 0 to 300 psi pressure range, and a lower-mount 1/2-inch threaded connection for direct inline installation. The thermoplastic case keeps weight manageable and resists corrosion in typical service environments. Accuracy is rated at 0.5 percent of full scale, which meets the precision requirements for most commercial and trade service work. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of gauge.

This gauge fits residential and light commercial service scenarios where a large, clearly readable dial face is preferred. The lower-mount configuration allows the gauge to connect directly to a vertical pipe or manifold fitting without an additional adapter in most standard installations. The 0 to 300 psi range makes it suitable for water supply, hydronic heating, compressed air monitoring, and similar pressure systems where mid-range pressure readings are expected. The analog dial type requires no power source and provides a continuous visual indication of system pressure.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial for high visibility in field and panel installations
• 0 to 300 psi pressure range covers a wide variety of trade applications
• 0.5 percent of full-scale accuracy for reliable pressure readings
• Lower-mount 1/2-inch threaded connection for direct pipe or manifold mounting
• Thermoplastic case resists corrosion and reduces overall gauge weight

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for residential and commercial HVAC, plumbing, and compressed air systems requiring a 6-inch lower-mount analog gauge with a 1/2-inch threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing an existing gauge or threading in this unit. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threaded connection per local plumbing code requirements. Do not over-torque the threaded fitting into the port, as thermoplastic components can crack under excessive force.
