Ashcroft 83249 Pressure Gauge 0-3000 Psi 2.5 in Dial

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 83249 is a liquid-filled industrial pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in demanding service environments. It features a 2.5-inch analog dial with a range of 0 to 3000 psi and delivers 1% of scale accuracy. The Bourdon tube is constructed from 316 stainless steel, and the case is stainless steel rated 304/316, making it well-suited for corrosive or washdown conditions. The liquid-filled design dampens pointer vibration and protects internal components from pulsation damage. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance professionals install this gauge in high-pressure systems where reliable, readable measurement is critical.

This gauge is built for industrial and commercial applications where pressure readings must remain stable under vibration, shock, or pulsating flow. The center back mount configuration suits panel installations and direct pipe mounting in tight spaces. The 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection fits standard pipe fittings common in HVAC, plumbing, hydraulic, and process piping systems. The polycarbonate lens resists impact and provides clear dial visibility. It meets CRN, IP54, IP65/NEMA 4, PED, and RoHS standards, covering a wide range of regulated installation environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for industrial, commercial HVAC, plumbing, and process piping systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT center back mount gauge rated to 3000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable codes including the International Plumbing Code and local jurisdictional requirements. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing an existing gauge or threading in this unit. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service media to the NPT threads and avoid overtightening, which can crack the gauge socket. Do not use the gauge body or dial as a lever during installation.
