Miniature ball valves enable isolation of the gauge from the rest of the system for removal, replacement or cleaning. These valves are available in brass or stainless steel with ¼" or ½" connections. It is important to confirm that the valve pressure rating is compatible with both the gauge and the system pressure.
A siphon protects pressure gauges and other instruments from the effects of hot pressure media typical of steam applications. Steam condensate accumulates within the coiled section and buffers rapid temperature surges to the attached instrument.
Pressure snubbers dampen the effect of system pulsation, slowing the transmission of sudden pressure spikes into the gauge. One design we offer is adjustable and also provides the ability to isolate the gauge for service or replacement. Snubbers are available in brass and stainless steel; other alloys can be machined when circumstances require.
