Ametek 132546 Analog Pressure Gauge 0-30 Psi 6 Inch Dial

Product Description

The AMETEK 132546 is an analog pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial service applications. Built with a thermoplastic case and a 6-inch dial face, this gauge provides clear, easy-to-read pressure readings across a 0 to 30 psi range. It delivers 0.5 percent of scale accuracy, making it suitable for systems where reliable pressure readings are critical. The lower back mount configuration and 1/2-inch thread connection allow it to install directly into panel cutouts or manifold ports. Licensed trade professionals and service technicians are the primary installers of this gauge in both commercial and residential settings.

This gauge is well suited for low-pressure applications including water supply systems, compressed air lines, pump systems, and HVAC equipment monitoring. The 6-inch dial size makes it a practical choice for panel-mounted installations where readability at a distance is important. The lower back mount design positions the process connection at the rear of the case, which keeps plumbing runs clean and reduces stress on the connection fitting in fixed installations.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial for high visibility and easy reading at distance
• 0 to 30 psi pressure range suitable for low-pressure water and air systems
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable pressure monitoring
• Thermoplastic case provides resistance to corrosion and reduces overall weight
• Lower back mount with 1/2-inch thread for clean panel or manifold installation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified service professional. Always depressurize and isolate the system before removing an existing gauge or installing a new one. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 1/2-inch male threads in accordance with local plumbing codes before tightening. Do not over-tighten the threaded connection, as thermoplastic gauge bodies can crack under excessive torque.
