Ashcroft 451279 Process Vacuum Gauge

The Ashcroft 451279 is a process vacuum gauge designed for measuring negative pressure in industrial and laboratory settings. It features a 4 1/2 inch nominal dial size with a white face and black phenolic case. The unit offers an accuracy of +/- 0.5 percent across its range.

30 to 0 Hg Measurement Range

This gauge covers a primary pressure range of 30 to 0 Hg, providing clear vacuum readings for evacuation and process monitoring tasks. The 1/2 inch male NPT bottom connection allows direct installation into standard piping. It is not field fillable and lacks vibration dampening features.

Dry Operation With Glass Lens

The instrument operates as a dry gauge without liquid dampening, relying on a glass lens for durability and readability. Its phenolic case carries no IP or NEMA rating, limiting use to protected indoor environments. The bolt circle diameter measures 5.375 inches for panel mounting options.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in NPT bottom connection on the Ashcroft 451279 fit my existing pipework without adapters?

The gauge has a 1/2 in male NPT bottom connection; if your pipework uses the same thread it will mate directly, otherwise a suitable adapter is required.

How can I verify the +/- 0.5 percent accuracy of the 30 to 0 Hg range after installation?

Apply a calibrated vacuum source at several points across the 30 to 0 Hg scale and confirm the pointer reads within half a percent of full scale at each point.

Does the phenolic case with glass lens and 5.375 in bolt circle come complete, or must I buy mounting hardware separately?

The gauge includes the case, glass lens and dial; bolts or a mounting bracket for the 5.375 in bolt circle are not included and must be sourced separately.
