Pressure gauge - axial, D 63, 0 - 6 bar

Product detailed description

This axial pressure gauge is commonly used in heating, plumbing, and irrigation systems to monitor operating pressure. It is suitable for installation in residential and commercial buildings, including underfloor heating systems, central heating circuits, and water supply lines. The device is designed for use with non-aggressive liquids and gases, where accurate pressure monitoring is essential for system performance and safety. Installers typically use this gauge during commissioning, maintenance, or fault diagnosis to ensure the system operates within the specified pressure range.

The compact 63 mm diameter housing allows for installation in tight spaces, such as behind panels or in mechanical rooms. The rear-mounted 1/4 inch connection facilitates secure and leak-free installation in existing pipe systems. The gauge is designed for integration into closed-loop systems where pressure fluctuations need to be monitored for efficiency and safety.

The pressure range of 0 to 6 bar makes this gauge suitable for low-pressure systems such as domestic heating and water supply. The 63 mm diameter ensures readability without requiring excessive space. The rear connection of 1/4 inch allows for direct integration into standard pipe fittings. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and compatibility with the system being monitored.Installation and connection To install the pressure gauge, ensure the system is depressurised and the connection point is clean. Use a 1/4 inch male thread to connect the gauge to the system. Apply a sealing compound or PTFE tape to prevent leaks. Verify that the gauge is mounted in a visible and accessible location for regular monitoring. Common installation mistakes include incorrect thread orientation, insufficient sealing, and installation in areas with vibration or extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect accuracy.Compatibility and accessories This pressure gauge is compatible with standard pipe systems using 1/4 inch threaded connections. It is typically used alongside pressure-reducing valves, expansion vessels, and safety valves in heating and plumbing systems. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. Ensure the system media and operating conditions are within the manufacturer’s specifications.Technical background for designers This axial pressure gauge operates on a Bourdon tube principle, where pressure causes the tube to deflect, moving a pointer across a calibrated scale. The housing is constructed from durable materials suitable for indoor environments. The gauge is designed for integration into closed-loop systems where pressure stability is critical. Long-term accuracy depends on correct installation, avoiding exposure to overpressure and vibration, and regular inspection for mechanical wear.Service and operation Routine checks should include visual inspection for leaks, pointer movement, and scale readability. The gauge does not require regular calibration unless specified by the system’s operational requirements. Ensure the system is depressurised before removing the gauge for inspection or replacement. No service intervals are specified in the technical data.Frequently asked questions

Can this pressure gauge be used in a domestic heating system?
Yes, it is suitable for domestic heating systems operating within the 0–6 bar pressure range.

Is the 1/4 inch connection compatible with standard pipe fittings?
Yes, the rear-mounted 1/4 inch male thread is compatible with standard pipe fittings using a matching female thread.

Can this gauge be mounted in a vertical position?
Yes, it can be mounted vertically or horizontally, provided the pointer remains visible and the connection is secure.

Does the gauge require sealing compound during installation?
Yes, it is recommended to use sealing compound or PTFE tape on the 1/4 inch thread to ensure a leak-free connection.
