Low Pressure Diaphragm Gauge
This low pressure diaphragm gauge is built for technicians who need reliable readings on low-pressure gas or air lines. The 2-1/2 inch dial provides clear visibility in workshop or field settings. It is intended for professionals and serious DIY users who work with pneumatic systems. Not suitable for buyers who require high-pressure hydraulic measurement or digital data logging.
Accuracy ±1.5 Percent
The gauge delivers an accuracy of ±1.5 percent of full scale, which is the critical specification for verifying system performance. A copper alloy diaphragm sensor and copper alloy socket handle the media directly. The 1/4 inch male NPT bottom connection threads into standard fittings. Not for buyers who need a tighter tolerance such as ±0.5 percent or a different process connection size.
Straightforward NPT Installation
Installation consists of threading the 1/4 inch male NPT connection into the matching female port using appropriate sealant. The steel case and polycarbonate lens resist typical workshop knocks but the gauge is not panel-mountable. Common issues include over-tightening which can damage the diaphragm sensor or strip the brass threads. No hazardous location rating applies.

Questions about this item
What does the ±1.5% accuracy mean when the gauge is installed?
The reading will stay within 1.5% of the true pressure across the calibrated range.
What does the 1/4 in NPT male connection limit in practice?
It mates with 1/4 in NPT female ports only; thread sealant is required for a leak-tight seal.
What clearance does the 2-1/2 in steel case and bottom mount need?
Allow space for the 2-1/2 in diameter case plus the 1/4 in NPT male fitting protruding from the bottom.
