Overview
The Safe-T-Bleed STB-PCA-3000 pressure check assembly is a precision hydraulic pressure measurement instrument rated for 0–3000 PSI (0–200 BAR) operation. This Bourdon tube pressure gauge assembly integrates with Safe-T-Bleed’s MicroBleed® valve system to enable safe, on-the-spot pressure verification in any branch or leg of a hydraulic system under full operating pressure. Unlike traditional methods that risk oil injection or environmental spill, the STB-PCA-3000 provides OSHA Lockout/Tagout-compliant pressure detection to confirm stored energy before component removal or system maintenance.
Key Features
- Full-scale range 0–3000 PSI / 0–200 BAR — accommodates high-pressure industrial hydraulic systems
- Safe pressure verification — no oil discharge to atmosphere during testing; meets OSHA hazardous energy standards
- Bourdon tube gauge mechanism — proven accuracy and durability in industrial environments
- MicroBleed integration — threaded connection for seamless adapter compatibility with all MicroBleed valve ports
- Portable design — field-ready for on-demand pressure checks across distributed hydraulic circuits
- Made in USA — manufactured to North American industrial standards

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The STB-PCA-3000 is a pressure check accessory intended to work with existing Safe-T-Bleed MicroBleed valve installations. It is not a direct replacement for standard hydraulic gauges but serves a dedicated safety function within the Safe-T-Bleed system ecosystem.
Works With
- Safe-T-Bleed Energy Control Module (ECM)
- MicroBleed hose assemblies and adapters
- Standard hydraulic system connectors (with appropriate SAE thread adapters)
- Portable pressure test kits and maintenance tool kits
- Industrial lockout/tagout procedures and energy isolation workflows
