Ashcroft 83260 Pressure Gauge 0-3000 Psi 3.5in Dial Npt

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 83260 is a liquid-filled industrial pressure gauge designed for demanding process and mechanical system monitoring. It features a 3.5-inch analog dial with a measurement range of 0 to 3000 psi and an accuracy rating of 1% of scale. The stainless steel case and 316 stainless steel Bourdon tube make it well suited for corrosive environments and high-cycle applications. It connects via a 1/4-inch NPT center back mount fitting. This gauge is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel who require reliable pressure indication across a wide range of systems.

The ASHCROFT 83260 is appropriate for use in residential and commercial HVAC systems, hydraulic and pneumatic lines, water treatment equipment, refrigeration circuits, and general industrial process piping. The liquid-filled design dampens needle vibration in high-pulsation environments, improving readability and extending service life. The 1/4-inch NPT center back connection allows for panel or pipe-mounted installation where a rear-exit fitting is required.

Key Features

• Liquid-filled housing reduces needle vibration and extends gauge life in pulsating systems
• 316 stainless steel Bourdon tube for corrosion resistance in harsh media
• 304/316 stainless steel case construction for durable field service
• 1% of scale accuracy meets requirements for precision process monitoring
• Polycarbonate lens provides impact resistance and clear dial visibility
• Meets CRN, IP54, IP65/NEMA 4, PED, and RoHS standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install industrial pressure gauge for systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT center back mount connection and a 0 to 3000 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B40.100 guidelines. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing gauge or fitting. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the media and pressure rating to the NPT threads. Do not overtighten the NPT connection, as this can stress the Bourdon tube socket and affect accuracy.
