Wika 9768165 Pressure Gauge 0-1500 Psi 2-1/2 in Dial Npt

Product Description

The WIKA 9768165 is a liquid-filled industrial pressure gauge designed for continuous monitoring of gaseous and liquid media in demanding service environments. The 2-1/2 inch dial displays a single analog scale from 0 to 1500 psi, giving technicians a clear, direct reading at a glance. The 304 stainless steel case provides corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, while the liquid fill dampens vibration and needle flutter common in pumping and compressor systems. Copper alloy wetted parts handle a broad range of compatible media. Accuracy is rated at 1.5 percent of scale. The gauge weighs approximately 0.5 pounds, keeping it manageable for panel and inline installations.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC, plumbing, and industrial process applications where reliable static or dynamic pressure monitoring is required. The center back mount configuration fits flush panel or bracket installations, and the 1/4 inch NPT male connection provides a standard threaded interface compatible with common pipe fittings and manifolds. It is appropriate for use with gases and liquids within the rated pressure range.

Key Features

• Liquid-filled case dampens vibration and pulsation for stable needle readings
• 304 stainless steel case resists corrosion in wet or harsh environments
• 0 to 1500 psi single analog scale with 1.5 percent of scale accuracy
• 1/4 inch NPT center back mount for panel or bracket installation
• Copper alloy wetted parts compatible with a wide range of gaseous and liquid media
• Polycarbonate lens protects the dial face from impact and moisture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pressure gauge for industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and process piping systems requiring a 1/4 inch NPT center back mount gauge in the 0 to 1500 psi range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or qualified industrial mechanic. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing gauge or fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the NPT connection per local plumbing code requirements, and avoid over-tightening, which can crack the socket or distort the bourdon tube. Verify the media is compatible with copper alloy wetted parts before placing the gauge in service.
