Ashcroft 25-1009AW-02L-160 Pressure Gauge

Ashcroft 25-1009AW-02L-160 is a Type 1009 stainless steel, Duralife pressure gauge designed for accurate pressure indication in industrial environments. It features a 2-1/2-inch dial, a 0 to 160 psi primary range, and a bottom-mounted 1/4 in MNPT process connection for easy installation in compact instrument panels or pipework. The gauge body is 304 stainless steel with a polycarbonate lens, providing durability and impact resistance in harsh plant settings; wetted parts are 316 stainless steel to resist corrosion in clean or mildly caustic media. With an accuracy of ±1.0% of full scale, it offers dependable readings across its operating temperature range of -40°F to 150°F (-40°C to 66°C). Note that this AW variant indicates enhanced wetted materials; it does not come with a calibration certificate and is not liquid-filled, aligning with standard 1009 series configurations. The 25-1009AW-02L-160 is well-suited to process control, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, air compressors, and utility monitoring where a compact, reliable indicator is required and where stainless steel construction helps resist corrosion and contamination. Typical applications include industrial fluid handling, gas service, and instrumentation panels in oil and chemical processing, as well as general plant maintenance where dependable mechanical reading is essential. When selecting, ensure compatibility with clean or mildly aggressive media and verify that the 1/4-inch MNPT bottom connection matches your installation.
