Hydroland MAN.1/4 6B.50MM Radial Pressure Gauge 0 - 6 bar, 50 mm

Product detailed description

This radial pressure gauge is specifically suited for installations where space is limited, such as compact heating systems, distribution units, and small pump stations. The 50 mm dial size allows for clear visibility without requiring excessive mounting space. It is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, where accurate pressure monitoring is essential for system performance and safety. The rear-mounted 1/4 inch connection ensures compatibility with standard piping configurations, while the 0-6 bar range covers typical operating pressures in heating and circulation systems. The ABS body and acrylic window provide durability and resistance to common environmental factors encountered in these applications.

The 0-6 bar range is suitable for low-pressure systems such as heating circuits and circulation loops. The 50 mm dial size is ideal for installations where larger gauges would not fit. The 2.5 accuracy class indicates that the maximum deviation from the true value is ±2.5% of the full scale, which is acceptable for most non-critical monitoring tasks. The rear 1/4 inch connection allows for secure and leak-free installation in standard piping systems.Installation and connection To install the pressure gauge, ensure the system is depressurised and the mounting surface is clean and level. The 1/4 inch rear connection requires a compatible threaded fitting or union. Use a wrench to tighten the connection, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the gauge body or sealing surfaces. Verify that the gauge is mounted in a position that allows for easy reading and is not exposed to excessive vibration or temperature fluctuations. A common mistake during installation is using an incorrect thread type or failing to align the gauge properly, which can lead to inaccurate readings or mechanical stress on the device.Compatibility and accessories This pressure gauge is compatible with standard 1/4 inch threaded piping systems and is suitable for use with water-based media. No additional accessories are required for basic installation, but it is recommended to use a suitable sealing compound or gasket to ensure a leak-free connection. It can be used in conjunction with pressure-reducing valves, expansion vessels, and circulation pumps in heating and plumbing systems. No specific related products are required for operation.Technical background for designers The radial pressure gauge operates by measuring the force exerted by the fluid on a Bourdon tube or diaphragm, which is then translated into a mechanical movement of the pointer. The ABS body provides a lightweight and durable housing that is resistant to corrosion and mechanical impact. The acrylic window offers good visibility and protection against dust and minor impacts. The 1/4 inch rear connection allows for direct integration into the system without the need for additional adapters. The service life and efficiency of the gauge depend on the operating conditions, including the media type, temperature, and frequency of pressure fluctuations. Prolonged exposure to high vibration or excessive pressure can affect the accuracy and longevity of the device.Service and operation Regular visual inspections are recommended to check for signs of mechanical damage, leaks, or inaccurate readings. If the gauge shows a consistent deviation from expected values, it may require recalibration or replacement. No scheduled service intervals are specified for this model, but it should be replaced if it no longer meets the required accuracy or shows signs of wear. Ensure the system is depressurised before removing or replacing the gauge to avoid injury or damage to the system.Frequently asked questions

Can this pressure gauge be used in a heating system with expansion vessels?
Yes, the 0-6 bar range is suitable for monitoring pressure in heating systems with expansion vessels. The ABS body and rear 1/4 inch connection make it compatible with standard heating system components.

Is the 1/4 inch connection compatible with copper or plastic piping?
Yes, the 1/4 inch threaded connection is compatible with both copper and plastic piping, provided the correct fittings are used. A union or compression fitting is recommended for secure and leak-free installation.

Can the gauge be mounted in a vertical position?
Yes, the radial design allows for vertical mounting. Ensure the gauge is level and the pointer is free to move without obstruction for accurate readings.

What is the expected lifespan of the pressure gauge?
The expected lifespan depends on operating conditions, but the 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Regular inspections and proper installation help extend service life.
