Ashcroft 92895 Pressure Gauge 8.5 in 15 Psi Lower Mount

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 92895 is a large-dial analog pressure gauge built for accurate pressure monitoring in demanding trade and industrial service environments. Featuring an 8.5-inch dial face, the gauge offers easy readability at a distance, making it well suited for stationary equipment panels and mechanical rooms. It reads a pressure range of 0 to 15 psi with an accuracy of 0.25 percent of scale, providing dependable precision for low-pressure systems. The gauge uses a bronze Bourdon tube sensing element housed in an aluminum case, and mounts from the lower port using a 1/4-inch threaded connection. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this gauge type.

This gauge is commonly installed on low-pressure gas systems, water systems, boiler accessories, and compressed air or fluid distribution lines where monitoring pressures at or below 15 psi is required. The 8.5-inch dial size suits applications where technicians need clear readings from across a mechanical room or equipment bay. Its lower-mount configuration is standard for panel-mounted and pipe-mounted installations in both residential and light commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 8.5-inch analog dial face for high-visibility readings at distance
• 0 to 15 psi pressure range suitable for low-pressure system monitoring
• 0.25 percent of scale accuracy for reliable measurement
• Bronze Bourdon tube sensing element for durability in fluid and gas service
• Aluminum case construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant housing
• Lower-mount, 1/4-inch threaded connection for standard pipe or panel installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for low-pressure fluid, gas, and air systems requiring a lower-mount, 1/4-inch threaded analog gauge with an 8.5-inch dial.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed HVAC technician, plumber, or pipefitter. Before installing or replacing this gauge, isolate and depressurize the system completely and confirm the line is at zero pressure before breaking any connection. Use appropriate thread sealant on the 1/4-inch NPT threads and tighten to hand-snug plus a moderate wrench turn — do not overtighten, as this can crack the case or damage the inlet fitting. Follow applicable IFGC, IPC, or local mechanical codes when installing gauges on gas or pressurized fluid systems.
