Ashcroft Duragauge 45-1279-AS-02L-160 Pressure Gauge 0-160 PSI

The Ashcroft Duragauge 45-1279-AS-02L-160 is a high-performance process pressure gauge designed for demanding industrial applications requiring accurate pressure measurement. Featuring a 4.5-inch phenolic case with a solid front for safety, this gauge utilizes a bronze Bourdon tube and brass socket for compatibility with non-corrosive gases and liquids. It offers a pressure range of 0-160 PSI with ±0.5% full-scale accuracy, making it ideal for petrochemical, power, and general industrial uses where vibration, pulsation, and harsh environments are common. Key benefits include exceptional durability, resistance to overpressure up to 130% of range, and a PLUS! Performance option for enhanced vibration dampening without liquid fill, reducing maintenance needs. Compared to similar gauges like those from WIKA or Rosemount, the Ashcroft 1279 series provides superior build quality and longevity, though it may have a higher upfront cost. Drawbacks include limited suitability for highly corrosive media due to bronze components. The unit appears new in original packaging, with glycerin fill for pointer stability, and includes a lower 1/4-inch NPT connection.
