Ashcroft 96258 Pressure Gauge 0-160 Psi 4.5 in Dial Mnpt

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96258 is a process industrial pressure gauge designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. It features a 4.5-inch analog dial with a pressure range of 0 to 160 psi and delivers 0.5% of scale accuracy. The thermoplastic case and glass lens make it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and durability are required. This gauge mounts via a rear flange configuration using a 0.5-inch MNPT threaded connection. It is a dry, no-fill gauge — no liquid filler is used. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance professionals typically install and service this type of instrument.

The ASHCROFT 96258 is suited for process and industrial pressure monitoring in systems where a panel-mount or flange-mounted gauge is required. The rear flange mount positions the dial face flush against panels or enclosures for clean installation. Its NEMA 4X and IP66 environmental ratings make it appropriate for use in wet or wash-down locations. The CRN certification supports use in Canadian pressure vessel and piping applications. This gauge is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial process lines where a reliable analog readout is needed without liquid filling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified industrial maintenance technician. Depressurize and isolate the process line fully before removing or installing any pressure gauge. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the process fluid to the MNPT threads before installation. Verify the process pressure range does not exceed the 160 psi maximum rating of this gauge.
