Value Collection 116AB20160 Pressure Gauge 160 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 116AB20160 is a liquid-filled analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. The gauge features a 2-inch dial with a 0 to 160 psi range and an accuracy rating of plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale. The stainless steel case and stainless steel wetted parts provide corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. The glycerine fill dampens needle vibration and protects the Bourdon tube under pulsating pressure conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this gauge in applications where a compact, durable pressure indicator is required.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial installations including water supply lines, boiler systems, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating loops. The 1/4-inch NPT center back mount configuration allows direct panel or pipe connection with a standard NPT fitting. The 2-inch dial size is appropriate for tight spaces where a larger gauge cannot be accommodated. Liquid filling makes it a practical choice for high-vibration or pressure-surge environments such as pump discharge points or pressure-reducing valve outlets.

Key Features

• 0 to 160 psi range with plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy
• Glycerine liquid fill dampens vibration and protects internal components
• Stainless steel case and stainless steel wetted parts for corrosion resistance
• 2-inch analog dial for clear local pressure reading
• 1/4-inch NPT center back mount for direct pipe or panel installation
• Compact 2.5-inch width and 1-inch depth for space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gauge for residential and commercial systems requiring a 1/4-inch NPT center back mount pressure gauge rated to 160 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and ASME B40.100 gauge standards. Depressurize and isolate the system before removing any existing gauge or making new connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before installation and tighten to hand-tight plus the minimum additional turns needed to achieve a leak-free seal — do not overtighten. Verify the pressure range of the gauge is appropriate for the system's maximum operating pressure before placing the system back into service.
