Value Collection 116AL25160 Pressure Gauge 160 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 116AL25160 is a liquid-filled analog pressure gauge designed for reliable pressure monitoring in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. The gauge features a 2.5-inch dial with a 0 to 160 psi range and an accuracy rating of plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale, providing consistent readability across the full measurement span. A glycerine fill dampens needle oscillation in high-vibration or pulsating-flow environments. The stainless steel case and all-stainless wetted parts deliver strong corrosion resistance. A licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or pipefitter typically installs this gauge during system commissioning or replacement service.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial applications where pressure monitoring is required on water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, compressed air systems, or similar fluid circuits. The lower-mount configuration positions the process connection at the 6 o'clock position on the case, making it the standard choice for panel or pipe-mounted installations where the gauge face must be visible from the front. The 1/4 inch NPT male thread mates with widely used industry-standard fittings.

Key Features

• Liquid-filled with glycerine to reduce needle flutter in vibrating or pulsating systems
• 0 to 160 psi range with plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy
• Stainless steel case and stainless steel wetted parts for corrosion resistance
• 2.5-inch analog dial for clear, at-a-glance readings
• Lower-mount 1/4 inch NPT connection for standard pipe and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation gauge for systems using 1/4 inch NPT lower-mount pressure gauge ports across plumbing, HVAC, compressed air, and light industrial fluid applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the IPC or IFGC as relevant to the system type. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing an existing gauge or threading in this unit. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before installation; do not overtighten, as this can damage the gauge body or fitting. Confirm the system operating pressure falls within the 0 to 160 psi range before returning the system to service.
