Ashcroft 96250 Pressure Gauge 0-160 Psi 4.5 in Rear Flange

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96250 is an analog process industrial pressure gauge rated from 0 to 160 psi, built for demanding service environments where reliable pressure indication is critical. The gauge features a 4.5-inch thermoplastic case with a glass lens and mounts via a rear flange using a 1/4-inch MNPT connection. Accuracy is rated at 0.5% of scale, making it suitable for process monitoring applications where precise readings matter. The no-fill design means no liquid dampening agent is present inside the case. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and process piping mechanics across a range of industrial and commercial systems.

The ASHCROFT 96250 is intended for process industrial applications requiring a durable, non-liquid-filled pressure gauge with rear flange mounting. The rear mount configuration positions the gauge flush against a panel or bulkhead, keeping the face unobstructed and readable. The thermoplastic case resists corrosion and meets IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosure ratings, making it appropriate for wet or washdown environments. The CRN certification supports use in Canadian pressure vessel and piping applications.

• CRN certified for use in Canadian pressure applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install process gauge for industrial and commercial piping systems requiring a rear flange mount, 1/4-inch MNPT connection, and a 0-to-160 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B40.100 pressure gauge standards. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing any existing gauge or fitting the new gauge. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the MNPT connection and avoid over-tightening the thermoplastic case. Verify the flange mounting surface is flat and that the gauge face is oriented for clear visibility before final torque.
