Ashcroft 96224 Pressure Gauge 0-60 Psi 4.5 in Dial Mnpt

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96224 is a process industrial pressure gauge designed for demanding trade and industrial applications. It features a 4.5-inch analog dial with a range of 0 to 60 psi and delivers 0.5 percent of scale accuracy. The thermoplastic case and glass lens provide durability in wet or corrosive environments, backed by an IP66/NEMA 4X rating. The gauge uses a rear flange mount with a 1/2-inch MNPT threaded connection and operates without liquid fill. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial service technicians install this gauge on process piping, HVAC systems, and fluid handling equipment where reliable pressure monitoring is required.

This gauge is suited for both commercial and light industrial process systems where accurate, readable pressure indication is needed at a fixed panel or pipe riser location. The rear flange mount allows it to be panel-mounted flush or attached to a wall bracket, making it well-suited for equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, and process skids. The non-liquid-filled design simplifies installation in environments where freezing or vibration from liquid fill is not a concern. CRN certification supports use in Canadian registered pressure vessel applications.

Key Features

• 4.5-inch analog dial for clear, high-visibility pressure readings at a distance
• 0 to 60 psi range with 0.5 percent of scale accuracy
• Thermoplastic case rated IP66/NEMA 4X for wet and washdown environments
• Glass lens for scratch resistance and optical clarity
• 1/2-inch MNPT rear connection with rear flange mount for panel or wall installation
• CRN certified; meets IP66/NEMA 4X environmental standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation gauge for process piping and industrial pressure monitoring systems requiring a 1/2-inch MNPT rear-entry connection with a rear flange mount configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified industrial technician. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before removing any existing gauge or fitting the new one. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MNPT threads per applicable IPC or facility piping standards. Do not overtighten the thermoplastic case against metal fittings; use appropriate wrenching on the gauge connection hex only.
