Overview
The Ashcroft 63-1008-A-02B-15 is a commercial-grade dry case pressure gauge designed for reliable pressure measurement in industrial pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic systems. With a 0–15 PSI range and 2.5-inch (63 mm) dial face, this gauge delivers accurate, stable readings across air compressor discharge lines, pneumatic tool systems, and light hydraulic applications. The sealed stainless steel case and bronze wetted components provide protection against dust, moisture, and ambient contamination.
Key Features
- Dry case design—no liquid fill required for standard environmental conditions
- Stainless steel housing resists corrosion in industrial and workshop environments
- Bronze wetted components provide durability in compressed air and inert gas service
- 1/4 NPT male back mount connection for easy installation
- 2.5-inch (63 mm) dial with clear, easy-to-read black scale markings
- Sealed, protected movement resists vibration and pulsation effects typical of compressor discharge lines
