Ashcroft 662876001460 Pressure Gauge 0-160 Psi 2.5in Dial

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 662876001460 is a commercial-grade analog pressure gauge designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial service applications. It features a 2.5-inch dial with a 0 to 160 psi range and delivers 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy across the measurement span. The gauge uses a bronze Bourdon tube sensing element housed in a steel case with a polycarbonate lens. The center back mount configuration and 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection make it straightforward to install in line with standard pipe fittings. This gauge is suited for licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors who need reliable pressure indication on water, air, or compatible fluid systems.

This gauge is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, reliable pressure indicator is required. Typical installations include boiler systems, domestic water supply lines, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating circuits. The 2.5-inch dial provides easy readability in tight mechanical spaces. The center back mount orientation is well suited for panel or manifold installations where a flush, in-line profile is preferred. The CRN certification indicates compliance with Canadian Registration Number requirements, making it acceptable for use in Canadian jurisdictions where pressure vessel and fitting registration is mandated.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing an existing gauge or installing this unit. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per local plumbing code requirements, and do not over-tighten the brass fitting into the gauge port. Verify that system operating pressure does not exceed the 160 psi maximum range of this gauge.
