Ametek 132554 Pressure Gauge 6 Inch 1000 Psi Lower Back Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 132554 is a 6-inch analog pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems. It features a 1/2-inch lower back mount connection and a thermoplastic case that resists corrosion and impact under typical service conditions. The gauge covers a pressure range of 0 to 1000 psi with an accuracy of 0.5% of full scale, making it a reliable instrument for applications where precise pressure readings are required. Licensed tradespeople and service technicians install this gauge as a primary or secondary monitoring point on pumps, compressors, boilers, and piping assemblies.

This gauge is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where a large, easy-to-read 6-inch dial face improves visibility from a distance. The lower back mount configuration makes it well-suited for panel-mounted or inline installations where the pipe or port enters from the rear of the gauge. It is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters on pressure systems, hydronic heating loops, compressed air lines, and water supply equipment requiring continuous pressure indication.

Key Features

• 6-inch analog dial face for high-visibility pressure readings at distance
• 0 to 1000 psi pressure range suitable for a broad range of system pressures
• 0.5% of full scale accuracy for dependable monitoring
• 1/2-inch lower back mount connection for rear-entry panel or inline installations
• Thermoplastic case construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install analog pressure gauge for residential and commercial mechanical systems requiring a 6-inch dial, 1/2-inch lower back mount configuration with a 0 to 1000 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter following applicable local codes and ASME B40.100 gauge installation guidelines. Isolate and depressurize the system fully before removing an existing gauge or making any new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the 1/2-inch male thread connection and tighten to hand-tight plus a wrench-snug fit — do not overtighten or use excessive force on the thermoplastic case. After installation, gradually repressurize the system and inspect for leaks before returning to service.
