Ashcroft 96216 Pressure Gauge 4.5 in 0-60 Psi Rear Flange

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96216 is a process industrial pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure monitoring in demanding industrial and mechanical applications. It features a 4.5-inch analog dial with a 0 to 60 psi range and delivers 0.5 percent of scale accuracy, making it suitable for systems where reliable pressure readings are critical. The thermoplastic case provides durability without the weight of metal housings, while the glass lens protects the dial face. This gauge is a non-liquid-filled unit, keeping its internals free of fill fluid contamination in clean or controlled environments. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors typically install gauges of this type during system commissioning and routine service work.

This gauge is suited for process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, water distribution, and general industrial plumbing applications. The rear flange mount configuration allows panel or bulkhead installation, keeping the gauge face flush and visible on an enclosure or mounting surface. The 0.25-inch MNPT threaded connection is a standard size compatible with common process fittings. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings indicate this unit is rated for washdown environments and protection against dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for indoor and covered outdoor service locations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical contractor. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing any existing gauge or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT threads per the fitting manufacturer and applicable plumbing code requirements. Do not over-torque the threaded connection, as thermoplastic components can crack under excessive force.
