ICMA 91257AB16 Pressure Gauge 63mm 1/4 inch 16 bar

The ICMA 91257AB16 pressure gauge is a precision instrument designed for monitoring fluid and gas pressure in various heating and plumbing systems. With a 63mm dial diameter and a robust construction, this gauge provides clear and reliable readings to ensure that your installations operate within safe parameters. It is engineered for durability and long-term performance in both residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This pressure gauge stands out due to its high-quality construction, combining durable ABS plastic with a reliable brass connection. The clear display allows for quick and accurate pressure checks, which is vital for maintaining the efficiency of heating systems. Its compact design ensures it can be easily integrated into existing piping configurations without requiring significant space, while the wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for diverse environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Monitoring pressure in residential heating systems
• Checking pressure levels in commercial plumbing installations
• Integration into water supply networks
• General industrial fluid pressure monitoring

This device is not intended for use with highly corrosive or aggressive media that could damage the internal brass components. It is also not suitable for high-precision laboratory measurements where extreme sensitivity is required, nor should it be used in systems exceeding the maximum pressure rating of 16 bar.

Key specifications

• Dial diameter: 63 mm
• Connection size: 1/4 inch
• Maximum pressure: 16 bar
• Operating temperature range: -20°C to 60°C
• Materials: ABS plastic housing, brass connection

How to use

To install the pressure gauge, ensure the system is depressurized and drained if necessary. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the 1/4 inch brass connection before screwing it into the designated port on your pipework or manifold. Use a suitable wrench to tighten the gauge, ensuring it is secure but not overtightened to avoid damaging the housing. Once installed, slowly re-pressurize the system and check for any leaks around the connection point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1/4 inch connection is compatible with your existing system port
• Ensure the 16 bar maximum pressure rating meets your system requirements
• Check that the operating environment temperature remains within the -20°C to 60°C range
• Confirm that the fluid or gas in the system is compatible with brass components

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the gauge for any signs of condensation or mechanical damage. If the needle fails to return to zero or the display becomes difficult to read, the unit should be replaced to maintain system safety.
