Value Collection 729231 Pressure Gauge 0-30 Psi 2 in Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 729231 is a 2-inch analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial applications. It features a black steel case with a center back mount configuration and a 1/4-inch NPT threaded connection. The gauge reads 0 to 30 PSI on a single-scale PSI dial, driven by a bronze Bourdon tube mechanism. This is a dry (non-liquid-filled) gauge suited for stable pressure readings in clean fluid or gas systems. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools beyond a properly sized wrench for the NPT fitting. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe fitters are the typical installers for gauges of this type.

This gauge is well-suited for low-pressure monitoring points in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, compressed air lines, water supply circuits, and HVAC hydronic systems where pressures remain within the 0 to 30 PSI range. The center back mount orientation positions the dial face forward when the gauge is threaded into a rear-facing port, making it practical for panel or manifold installations where direct frontal readability is required.

Key Features

• 0 to 30 PSI single-scale analog readout for low-pressure system monitoring
• 2-inch dial diameter for clear at-a-glance readings
• 1/4-inch NPT center back mount for straightforward panel and manifold integration
• Bronze Bourdon tube provides reliable pressure sensing in clean fluid and gas service
• Steel case construction for durability in trade and industrial environments
• Dry gauge design — no liquid fill required, reducing weight and simplifying installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for low-pressure monitoring points in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems that use standard 1/4-inch NPT back-mount gauge ports rated within the 0 to 30 PSI range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing the gauge. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the NPT threads per local code requirements, and tighten with an appropriately sized wrench — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the case or distort the Bourdon tube. Do not use this gauge in systems where pressure may exceed its rated 30 PSI maximum.
