Ametek 132550 Pressure Gauge 6 in 0-200 Psi Lower Back Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 132550 is an analog pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in mechanical and industrial piping systems. It features a 6-inch dial for easy reading at a distance and a thermoplastic case that resists corrosion in standard service environments. The gauge measures pressure from 0 to 200 psi with an accuracy of 0.5 percent of full scale, making it suitable for applications where reliable pressure indication is required. It mounts via a 1/2-inch lower back connection, allowing direct inline or panel installation. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service professionals commonly use this gauge for system commissioning, diagnostics, and ongoing monitoring.

This gauge is well suited for residential and light commercial HVAC systems, plumbing pressure systems, hydronic heating loops, and general fluid service applications. The lower back mount configuration positions the dial face outward for clear visibility when installed on a panel or pipe run. The large 6-inch analog dial reduces the need for close-range reading, making it practical in equipment rooms and mechanical closets where gauges may be installed above eye level or in confined spaces.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial for high-visibility pressure readings at a distance
• 0 to 200 psi pressure range suitable for common mechanical system pressures
• 0.5 percent of full-scale accuracy for reliable system diagnostics
• Thermoplastic case construction provides corrosion resistance in standard service conditions
• 1/2-inch lower back mount connection for straightforward inline or panel installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for residential and light commercial mechanical systems requiring a 1/2-inch lower back mount, 6-inch dial analog gauge rated to 200 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant to the system. Shut off system pressure and relieve any residual pressure before removing an existing gauge or making new connections. Use appropriate thread sealant on the 1/2-inch NPT connection and avoid over-tightening the thermoplastic case. Do not install in systems where operating pressure or temperature exceeds the rated range of the gauge.
