Purpose and fit
This Dayton high-side gauge is intended for HVAC technicians who need a replacement manifold gauge for existing sets. It reads pressures from 0 to 500 psi and is calibrated for R-12, R-22 and R-502 refrigerants. The red dial colour identifies it as the high-side instrument in a paired set. It is not suited for low-side readings or for refrigerants outside the listed three.
Capacity and headroom
The gauge covers a working range of 0 to 500 psi, giving headroom for typical high-side pressures encountered with R-12, R-22 and R-502 systems. Readings beyond 500 psi fall outside the calibrated scale, so the instrument cannot be used on systems that run higher discharge pressures. The 1/8-inch connection limits use to manifold blocks with matching ports.
Build and daily use
The 2-3/4-inch diameter dial provides a clear face for quick pressure checks during service calls. A 1/8-inch connection threads directly into compatible manifold blocks without adapters. The red colour coding reduces the risk of cross-connecting high and low sides on the job. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
Will this 500 psi high-side gauge thread into the 1/8 in port on my existing R-22 manifold set?
Yes, the 1/8 in connection size matches standard manifold ports used with R-12, R-22 and R-502 refrigerant systems.
How can I verify the gauge reads correctly after installing it on the high side?
Pressurise the system with a known refrigerant charge and confirm the needle moves smoothly from zero toward the 500 psi scale without sticking.
Does the package include a replacement lens or seal, or must I order them separately?
The box contains the red high-side gauge only; any lens, O-ring or calibration accessory is sold separately.
