Value Collection 115AL15160 Pressure Gauge 160 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 115AL15160 is a liquid-filled analog pressure gauge designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where accurate, steady pressure readings are required. The gauge features a 1.5-inch dial calibrated from 0 to 160 psi, a stainless steel case, and brass wetted parts. The liquid fill — glycerine or water — dampens needle vibration, extending service life in systems with pressure fluctuations or pulsating flow. The 1/8-inch lower-mount NPT connection suits tight-space installations. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this gauge during system commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial applications including water supply lines, compressed air systems, hydronic heating loops, and small refrigeration or process piping where a compact 1.5-inch dial is appropriate. The lower-mount configuration positions the connection at the bottom of the gauge body, allowing direct installation into tee fittings or gauge ports on manifolds and pressure vessels. The bronze Bourdon tube handles standard fluid and gas media compatible with brass and bronze alloys.

Key Features

• 0 to 160 psi range with plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy
• Liquid-filled case (glycerine or water) reduces needle flutter in high-vibration or pulsating service
• 1.5-inch analog dial for compact installations with clear readability
• Stainless steel case resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• Brass wetted parts and bronze Bourdon tube compatible with common water, air, and hydraulic fluid media
• 1/8-inch NPT lower-mount connection for direct in-line or manifold installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gauge for residential and light commercial systems requiring a 1/8-inch NPT lower-mount pressure gauge rated to 160 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and bleed the line before removing or installing any gauge. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the NPT threads — do not overtighten, as brass fittings and gauge ports can crack under excess torque. Verify the media in the system is compatible with brass and bronze wetted components before placing the gauge in service.
