Ashcroft 662876001446 Pressure Gauge 0-60 Psi 2.5in Dial

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 662876001446 is a commercial-grade analog pressure gauge designed for general industrial and mechanical service applications. It features a 2.5-inch steel case dial with a polycarbonate lens and reads from 0 to 60 psi. The bronze Bourdon tube drives a 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy rating, meaning the gauge holds tightest accuracy at mid-scale. The 1/4-inch NPT center back mount connection allows direct panel or pipe installation. At 0.4 pounds, it is lightweight enough for instrument boards, manifolds, and test rigs. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters regularly install this gauge on low-to-medium pressure systems where a compact, reliable pressure indicator is required.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial installations where system pressures stay within the 0 to 60 psi operating range. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydronic heating circuits, and refrigerant manifold stations operating below gauge range limits. The center back mount orientation makes it well suited for panel-mounted installations and recessed fittings where a front or bottom connection would be impractical. The analog dial provides an immediate visual reading without requiring batteries or electronic components.

Key Features

• 2.5-inch dial diameter for clear at-a-glance reading
• 0 to 60 psi range with 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy
• Bronze Bourdon tube construction for reliable pressure response
• 1/4-inch NPT center back mount for panel or direct-pipe installation
• Steel case with polycarbonate lens for durability and visibility
• CRN certified for applicable Canadian pressure vessel code compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for commercial and residential mechanical systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT center back mount analog gauge rated to 60 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing any existing gauge or fitting the new one. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads in accordance with the applicable piping code before tightening. Do not overtighten the brass connection at the Bourdon tube inlet, as this can damage the internal mechanism.
