Winters PPC5080 Pressure Gauge 4.5 in Dial Lower Mount

Product Description

The WINTERS PPC5080 is an analog pressure gauge designed for monitoring system pressure in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial service applications. It features a 4.5-inch dial for easy readout in the field, a lower-mount 0.25-inch threaded connection for direct pipe installation, and brass wetted parts for compatibility with water, steam, and common refrigerants. The thermoplastic case keeps weight low while providing adequate protection in typical mechanical room and equipment room environments. Accuracy is rated at 0.5 percent of full scale, meeting standard requirements for most trade service and diagnostic work. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This gauge is suited for residential and light commercial systems where a reliable, easy-to-read analog pressure display is needed at a pipe connection point. The lower-mount configuration positions the dial face upward or outward from the pipe, making it well suited for vertical pipe runs and panel-mounted applications. The 4.5-inch dial size improves legibility at a distance compared to smaller 2-inch or 2.5-inch gauges, which is useful on boilers, chillers, pump stations, and pressurized water systems. No liquid fill is used in this gauge, keeping it compatible with vibration-free or low-vibration installations.

Key Features

• 4.5-inch analog dial for high visibility in mechanical room and panel installs
• Lower-mount 0.25-inch threaded connection for direct inline installation
• Brass wetted parts suitable for water, steam, and common system fluids
• Thermoplastic case reduces weight without sacrificing basic protection
• No-fill design appropriate for low-vibration service environments
• 0.5 percent of scale accuracy for reliable pressure monitoring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install pressure gauge for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid handling systems using a standard 0.25-inch lower-mount threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing an existing gauge or installing this unit. Apply thread sealant tape to the male threads and hand-tighten before snugging with a wrench, taking care not to overtorque the thermoplastic gauge body. Verify the pressure range of the gauge is appropriate for the system operating pressure before returning the system to service.
