It features a 3.5-inch dial with a pressure range of -30 to 100 Hg, delivering 1% of scale accuracy for reliable readings in demanding service environments. The stainless steel case provides corrosion resistance suited for plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical system monitoring. Installation uses a standard 1\/4-inch NPT lower-mount connection, making it compatible with common fittings found throughout the trade. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors install this gauge where dependable pressure indication is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gauge is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications including pressure testing, system diagnostics, pump performance monitoring, and piping system verification. The lower-mount (bottom-entry) configuration positions the dial face upward for easy reading when the gauge is installed in a vertical pipe or manifold. The non-liquid-filled design keeps the unit lightweight and suitable for dry, vibration-controlled environments where damping fluid is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5-inch analog dial for clear, at-a-glance pressure readings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure range of -30 to 100 Hg covers both vacuum and positive pressure measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1% of scale accuracy for reliable diagnostic and monitoring use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch NPT lower-mount connection fits standard trade fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel case resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-liquid-filled construction suited for low-vibration installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or installation gauge for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems using standard 1\/4-inch NPT lower-mount gauge ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC or IFGC guidelines. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing gauge or installing this unit. Apply thread sealant tape to the NPT threads before making the connection — do not overtighten, as stainless steel fittings can gall. Verify the system pressure is within the gauge range before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -30 to 100 Hg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1% of scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid Filled\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASHCROFT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 83221\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASHCROFT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539277545778,"sku":"83221","price":206.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/354cb3162489ff68ea41d248e4d39263_ff1409d3-e09c-4535-8176-bfaeb038097b.jpg?v=1785837671","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ashcroft-83221-pressure-gauge-3-5-in-dial-npt-lower-mount","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
