Ashcroft 94216 Pressure Gauge 0-5000 Psi 2.5in Dial Npt

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 94216 is a liquid-filled industrial pressure gauge rated from 0 to 5000 psi, designed for demanding process and mechanical applications where reliable pressure monitoring is critical. The 2.5-inch analog dial provides a clear reading at distance, and the lower-mount NPT connection simplifies inline installation on pipes, manifolds, and test ports. Accuracy is rated at 1 percent of full scale. The stainless steel case and 316 stainless steel Bourdon tube make this gauge suitable for corrosive environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of instrument.

This gauge is built for industrial service where elevated pressures, vibration, or exposure to corrosive media are common. The liquid-filled design dampens needle flutter caused by pulsating pressure or mechanical vibration, which extends service life and improves readability. The lower-mount orientation fits standard piping configurations where the process connection enters from the bottom of the gauge. Typical applications include hydraulic systems, high-pressure pneumatic lines, water treatment equipment, and industrial process piping where continuous pressure monitoring is required.

Key Features

• 0 to 5000 psi range with 1 percent of full-scale accuracy
• Liquid-filled housing dampens vibration and reduces needle flutter
• 316 stainless steel Bourdon tube for corrosion resistance in aggressive media
• 304/316 stainless steel case rated for harsh industrial environments
• Polycarbonate lens for impact and chemical resistance
• Meets CRN, IP54, IP65/NEMA 4, PED, and RoHS standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for industrial systems requiring a 2.5-inch lower-mount NPT analog gauge rated to 5000 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified industrial technician following applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines. Always depressurize and isolate the system before removing or installing any pressure gauge. Use appropriate thread sealant on the NPT connection and avoid over-tightening, which can damage the socket or Bourdon tube. Do not exceed the rated maximum pressure of 5000 psi.
