Value Collection BDR-S182- Pressure Gauge 0-160 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDR-S182- is a general-purpose analog pressure gauge designed for measuring system pressure in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications. Featuring a 2.5-inch dial with an analog display, it reads from 0 to 160 psi and connects via a 0.25-inch NPT lower-mount fitting. This gauge is configured as a Brakeman's Test Gauge without a rubber boot, making it suitable for use where a clean, compact instrument is needed without additional protective accessories. Typical installers include HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical maintenance professionals requiring a reliable field-service or bench-test pressure instrument.

This gauge is suited for general-purpose pressure measurement in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, as well as industrial test and inspection scenarios. The lower-mount NPT connection allows straightforward inline or port installation on piping, manifolds, or test ports where a bottom-entry gauge is specified. The 2.5-inch dial size provides clear analog readout in tight-access locations typical of equipment rooms, mechanical chases, and service panels.

Key Features

• 0 to 160 psi pressure range suitable for a broad range of system pressure checks
• 2.5-inch analog dial for clear, direct-read pressure display
• 0.25-inch NPT lower-mount connection for standard inline or port fitment
• Brakeman's Test Gauge configuration without rubber boot for compact, clean installation
• General-purpose gauge type appropriate for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical test applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or test gauge for systems utilizing 0.25-inch NPT lower-mount gauge ports with operating pressures up to 160 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician, plumber, or licensed mechanical contractor. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing gauge or installing this unit. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads per standard trade practice, and do not overtighten, as this can damage the gauge body or port fitting. Verify that system operating pressure does not exceed the 160 psi maximum range of this gauge.
