Ashcroft™ 1005P XUL Water Pressure Gauge | Dry | 3-1/2 in. | 0-300 PSI

Ashcroft™ 1005P XUL Dry 3-1/2 in. Water Pressure Gauge

This Ashcroft™ Model 1005P XUL Dry Dial Water Pressure Gauge is designed to deliver +/- 3/2/3% accurate pressure ratings in a range of 0-300 PSI in wet-pipe fire sprinkler system components and other water-based systems. This gauge has a 1/4 in. NPT connection that threads quickly to fire sprinkler system trim to detect pressure measurements. This gauge uses a “zero-zone” rather than a conventional dial post to guarantee that the gauge reads zero only when it is truly at 0 PSI, providing an immediate indication of when a gauge is out of calibration. Ashcroft™'s PowerFlex design separates the bourdon tube and the link wire tube to keep stress, shocks, and vibration from traveling through the thread connection to precision parts, extending product life and accuracy. This gauge is UL Listed and FM Approved.

Why Do I Need a Water Pressure Gauge?

Water pressure gauges are essential components for monitoring the water supply and ensuring that adequate pressure is maintained to effectively operate the sprinkler system.

During normal operation, the water gauge provides a visual indication of the water pressure in the system. It allows the building owners, maintenance personnel, or fire safety professionals to verify that the pressure is within the desired range for proper sprinkler system functionality. Adequate pressure ensures that water will be discharged from the sprinkler heads when activated, effectively suppressing, or controlling a fire.

Regular monitoring of the water gauge is important to identify any abnormal fluctuations or drops in pressure, which could indicate potential issues such as leaks, valve malfunctions, or water supply problems. If the water gauge shows an abnormal reading, it should be investigated and addressed promptly to maintain the reliability of the fire sprinkler system.
