Ashcroft 96262 Pressure Gauge 0-600 Psi 4.5 in Dial Mnpt

Product Description

The ASHCROFT 96262 is a process industrial pressure gauge designed for demanding commercial and industrial applications. It features a 4.5-inch analog dial with a measurement range of 0 to 600 psi and delivers an accuracy of 0.5 percent of scale, making it well-suited for systems where reliable pressure readings are critical. The gauge is constructed with a thermoplastic case and a glass lens. It mounts via a rear flange configuration using a 1/2-inch MNPT threaded connection. This gauge is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals on process piping and mechanical systems.

The ASHCROFT 96262 is intended for process and industrial pressure monitoring on pipelines, mechanical systems, and equipment where consistent analog readout is required. The rear flange mount suits panel or bulkhead installations where the gauge face needs to sit flush against a surface. The no-fill, dry gauge configuration makes it appropriate for clean gases and liquids compatible with the thermoplastic case material. This gauge carries CRN certification and meets IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, confirming suitability for wet, washdown, and outdoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the system's pressure rating. Isolate and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any pressure gauge. Apply thread sealant appropriate for the service fluid and pressure range to the MNPT threads; do not overtighten. Verify that the system operating pressure does not exceed the 600 psi maximum range of this gauge.
