Ametek 150006 Pressure Gauge 4.5 in Dial 0-15 Psi Lower Mount

Product Description

The AMETEK 150006 is an analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Featuring a 4.5-inch dial face, this lower-mount gauge provides a clear, easy-to-read display at distances common in mechanical room and equipment installations. The gauge measures pressure across a range of 0 to 15 psi with an accuracy of 0.5 percent of scale, making it suitable for low-pressure system monitoring where precision matters. The 0.5-inch lower-mount thread connection provides straightforward installation into standard pipe fittings. Weighing 2.05 pounds, it is a compact, durable unit appropriate for professional installation by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors.

The AMETEK 150006 is used in residential and light commercial settings where low-pressure monitoring is required. Typical applications include boiler systems, water supply lines, pneumatic controls, and HVAC equipment where a 0 to 15 psi range covers normal operating conditions. The large 4.5-inch analog dial suits panel-mounted and direct-pipe installations where technicians need a quick visual pressure read without additional instrumentation. The lower-mount configuration positions the connection at the bottom of the gauge body, which is standard for most inline and panel installations.

Key Features

• 4.5-inch analog dial for clear, at-a-glance pressure readings
• 0 to 15 psi pressure range suited for low-pressure systems
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable monitoring
• Lower-mount 0.5-inch thread connection for standard pipe fitting compatibility
• Compact form factor at 2.05 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation analog pressure gauge for low-pressure plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical systems requiring a 4.5-inch lower-mount gauge with a 0 to 15 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC guidelines. Before installing or replacing the gauge, shut off system pressure and bleed the line to zero psi to prevent injury. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 0.5-inch NPT threads before tightening — do not overtighten, as this can crack the gauge body or damage the fitting. Verify that the system operating pressure falls within the 0 to 15 psi range before returning the system to service.
