Pressure gauge up to 10 bar axial.rear outlet diameter 40mm

Product detailed description

This pressure gauge is commonly used in residential and commercial heating and water systems to monitor system pressure. It is typically installed on pump circuits, boiler systems, and water supply lines to ensure optimal performance and early detection of potential issues. The compact 40mm diameter design allows for installation in tight spaces while maintaining readability. The axial rear outlet configuration facilitates mounting in standard panel cutouts and ensures a secure connection to the system piping.

Installers working on central heating systems, circulation pumps, or water supply lines will find this gauge suitable for monitoring pressure levels in closed-loop systems. The metal housing provides durability in environments with fluctuating temperatures and vibrations. The 1/4 inch connection ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves in typical European installations.

Technical parameters

The maximum pressure rating of 10 bar is suitable for most domestic and light commercial heating and water systems. The 1/4 inch connection size ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings. The 40mm diameter display provides sufficient visibility for regular monitoring without requiring excessive space on the panel.

Installation and connection

Installation requires a suitable mounting location with access to the system piping. The rear axial outlet allows for panel mounting, and the 1/4 inch connection should be secured with appropriate thread sealing compound or tape. Ensure the gauge is installed in a location where it is easily visible and accessible for regular inspection.

Compatibility and accessories

This pressure gauge is compatible with standard heating and water systems that use 1/4 inch threaded connections. For complete system monitoring, it may be used alongside pressure switches, expansion vessels, and temperature sensors. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but sealing materials and mounting hardware may need to be sourced separately.

Technical background for designers

The gauge operates on a Bourdon tube principle, where pressure causes the tube to deflect, moving the pointer on the dial. The metal housing provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, making it suitable for environments with fluctuating temperatures and vibrations. Integration into the system requires careful consideration of the installation location to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can affect accuracy. The service life is influenced by the frequency of pressure fluctuations and the quality of the installation.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspection is recommended to ensure the gauge remains free from damage and provides accurate readings. No scheduled service intervals are specified in the technical data. If the gauge shows signs of damage or inconsistent readings, it should be replaced to maintain system safety and performance.

Frequently asked questions
