Value Collection 116AL25K05 Pressure Gauge 5000 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 116AL25K05 is a liquid-filled analog pressure gauge designed for high-pressure measurement in industrial, mechanical, and trade service applications. Built with a stainless steel case and stainless steel wetted parts, it handles pressure ranges from 0 to 5000 psi. The 2.5-inch dial provides a clear, readable scale, and the glycerine-and-water fill dampens needle vibration for stable readings under dynamic or pulsating pressure conditions. The lower-mount, 1/4-inch NPT connection makes it straightforward to install in-line or on a manifold port. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial service techs commonly use gauges of this type for pressure testing and system monitoring.

This gauge is suited for residential and commercial service work where reliable high-pressure readings are required. The lower-mount configuration is common in hydraulic panels, pump systems, compressor outlets, and pressure test rigs. The liquid fill makes it particularly useful in environments with vibration or pressure spikes that would cause an unfilled gauge to flutter. The 1/4-inch NPT thread is one of the most common port sizes across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial equipment, making this gauge broadly applicable across trade disciplines.

Key Features

• 0 to 5000 psi pressure range for high-pressure system monitoring
• Glycerine-and-water liquid fill dampens needle vibration and extends service life
• Stainless steel case and wetted parts resist corrosion and moisture exposure
• 2.5-inch analog dial delivers clear scale visibility in tight installation spaces
• Lower-mount 1/4-inch NPT connection fits the most common port size in trade applications
• Plus or minus 3-2-3 percent of scale accuracy across the dial range

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental gauge for any system with a 1/4-inch NPT lower-mount port rated to 5000 psi or below, including pump outlets, compressor lines, hydraulic test points, and pressure test manifolds.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanical service personnel. Before installing or removing the gauge, relieve all system pressure and isolate the line at the nearest shutoff valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per standard practice, being careful not to obstruct the port bore. Do not overtighten; hand-tight plus a controlled turn with a wrench is sufficient for NPT fittings to achieve a proper seal without stressing the gauge body.
