Reliable Pressure Readings For Demanding Conditions - BRABER® Systems

This brass pressure gauge with a glycerin fill delivers a solid 2 1/2" dial, a 1/4" NPT lower-mount connection, and a 0-160 PSI range built for BRABER® systems. Get accurate, vibration-resistant pressure monitoring at pump outlets and other connected BRABER® systems for water & air applications. From pressure washers to compressors to pumps & hydraulics, this gauge lets you track gas or liquid pressure in connected vessels or systems at a glance & trust the reading every single time.

What Makes You Want This Gauge

Whether you're putting a new BRABER® unit in or keeping an existing one running, this gauge makes pressure monitoring simple & reliable.

• Dead-accurate pressure monitoring: The glycerin-filled gauge protects against vibration and pulsation while smoothing needle movement from pumps, motors, & compressors, giving you spot-on readings and a heads-up on issues like worn nozzles or slow leaks. Accuracy is ±1.5 % or 2.5% of full scale.
• Built to Withstand the Jobsite: Heavy-duty brass parts resist corrosion in water & air applications, and the sealed case protects internal parts from shock, dust & moisture. Perfect for outdoors, in trailers or on a shop workbench.
• Quick Readability: The 2 1/2" dial provides clear, easy-to-read pressure readings from several feet away. The white face with clear black PSI markings from 0 to 160 PSI makes it easy.
• Easy install: 1/4" NPT threads screw right into standard female ports on pumps, manifolds & lines, and quick-connect fittings allow easy installation and removal of gauges. A quick customer review scan also helps customers confirm fit before ordering.
• Long-term reliability: The glycerin inside lubricates internal components, reduces mechanical wear, and keeps moisture out. Its stable calibration, longer service life, and strong review feedback make it a better bet than dry gauges.

What Gives It The Edge

Dry gauges are notorious for pointer flutter, premature wear & moisture buildup. The BRABER® brass glycerin gauge is built to overcome all that and suits industrial pressure applications where durability and reliability matter.

• Glycerin-filled for a smooth ride: It absorbs vibration and pulsation, giving you smooth, steady needle movement. Pneumatic systems benefit from stable readings because the needle stays from moving excessively. Perfect for pneumatic & water systems driven by pumps.
• Optimized 0-160 PSI Range: This range is made for common BRABER® systems. The 0-160 PSI rating suits low-pressure systems to help prevent over-pressurization, and the over-pressure limit is 25% for pressures up to 1,400 psi.
• Brass is the best: Resistant to clean water and compressed air, with heavy-duty construction that boosts durability and reliability in harsh conditions. For more corrosive or high-temp stuff, stainless steel is recommended.
• 2 1/2" dial is just right: Hits the balance between readability & compactness. Works great on pump heads & panels and lets you read it from 3-4 feet out.

How It Works

Understanding how your gauge processes pressure readings helps you maintain optimal system performance.

• Connect the pressure source: Screw the 1/4" NPT thread into any matching female port on your BRABER® system. Add some thread sealant tape & orient it so you can see it from a distance.
• Sensing & dampening: A brass Bourdon tube inside flexes with pressure changes. The glycerin inside absorbs all the vibrations from pumps & compressors so the needle doesn't jump around.
• Steady display: The tube's movement drives the needle across the 0-160 PSI scale. The glycerin does its magic, smoothing out micro-movements for a steady, easy-to-read display.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it easy to install? Yes, it is. The 1/4" MNPT male connection clips onto a standard female port - you just apply some thread sealant tape and tighten it securely. Quick-connect fittings do all the hard work for you, making tool-free installation and removal a breeze.

Can I use it with water and air? The good news is you can - it's totally fine to use it with non-corrosive water, compressed air, or other suitable media with similar properties.

Why glycerin-filled, do you ask? One reason is that gauges can be filled with glycerin to reduce vibration effects, and it also lubricates the moving parts and helps prevent condensation, which extends gauge life and keeps readings accurate.

Is 0–160 PSI the right range? The gauge is designed for systems that mostly run between 40 and 120 PSI, and it'll give you accurate readings even when the pressure spikes a bit, helping you find the right fit for your system.

How do you read the dial? Just look straight at it - avoid looking at it from the side because that can cause you to read the needle out of sync with the markers. Just glance straight at the dial and read the needle position against the clear 0–160 PSI markings.

How much maintenance does it need? Just keep an eye out for any damage or leaks - if the dial starts to fog or your readings get wonky, you'll need to replace it. But no routine calibrations are needed, and pressure gauges operate in temperatures from -4 to 150 degrees F.

Ready to give your Pressure Monitoring a Boost?

The BRABER® brass glycerin gauge is built tough, easy to read, and can shrug off vibrations that would give a dry gauge the boot. Protect your gear by getting reliable pressure readings that can help you optimize performance and catch any issues early before they become a big problem.
