Ashcroft 96223 Pressure Gauge 4.5 in 0-1000 Psi Rear Flange

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96223 is a process industrial pressure gauge designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications where accurate pressure monitoring is essential. Featuring a 4.5-inch analog dial and a measurement range of 0 to 1000 psi, this gauge delivers 0.5% of scale accuracy. The thermoplastic case provides durability in harsh environments, and the glass lens ensures clear dial readability. It mounts via a rear flange configuration with a 1/4-inch MNPT threaded connection. This gauge carries CRN certification and meets IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure ratings, making it suitable for wet and washdown service conditions. Licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and industrial technicians are the typical installers.

The ASHCROFT 96223 is suited for process piping systems in industrial, commercial, and heavy mechanical environments. The rear flange mount allows the gauge to be flush-mounted to panels or bulkheads, keeping the dial face accessible and protected. The no-fill, dry-dial design eliminates concerns about liquid filler compatibility with process media. Applications include monitoring system pressure on compressor lines, hydraulic circuits, water treatment systems, and similar process equipment where a reliable, panel-mountable pressure indicator is required.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install process pressure gauge for industrial and commercial pressure monitoring systems requiring a 4.5-inch rear-flange-mount analog gauge with a 1/4-inch MNPT connection and a 0 to 1000 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified industrial technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing gauge or fitting the new one. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the process media to the 1/4-inch MNPT threads before installation, following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Verify that the rear flange mounting surface is clean and flat to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant mount.
