Profec Glycerin Pressure Gauge 63 mm 0-10 bar Bottom 1/4" BSP Male
Profec 63 mm Glycerin-Filled Pressure Gauge – Bottom Connection, 0–10 bar
This glycerin-filled pressure gauge from Profec delivers stable, vibration-dampened pressure readings across a 0 to 10 bar range, with a dual-scale dial displaying both bar and psi values. The 63 mm stainless steel case houses a glycerin-filled chamber that suppresses needle flutter caused by pressure surges or pump pulsation — essential for pool filtration systems, irrigation pump stations, and greenhouse watering circuits where accurate, readable pressure monitoring is critical.
The bottom-entry male thread (1/4″ BSP) allows direct in-line or manifold mounting, keeping the gauge face upright and legible at a glance. Accuracy is rated at Class 1.6 in accordance with EN 837-1, meaning the maximum permissible error is 1.6% of the full-scale range. The brass process connection and stainless steel bezel ensure corrosion resistance in humid outdoor and pool-plant environments. The polycarbonate lens protects the dial while remaining shatter-resistant.

Compatibility
Suitable for water, air, and non-aggressive liquid or gas media compatible with brass and copper alloy wetted parts. Designed for use in pool filtration pipe manifolds, irrigation pump outlets, drip-system headers, and greenhouse nutrient-dosing systems where a 1/4″ BSP male threaded port is available. Not suitable for media that attack copper alloys, such as ammonia-based solutions or highly aggressive acids. Maximum operating temperature should remain within the glycerin-fill specification — typically –20 °C to +60 °C.

In details
- Glycerin fill eliminates needle vibration on pulsating pump systems for accurate, fatigue-free reading
- Dual bar/psi scale covers both metric and imperial system users without conversion
- Stainless steel case and bezel resist corrosion in pool and outdoor irrigation environments
- Bottom-entry 1/4" BSP connection fits the majority of pump outlets and manifold test points directly
- Class 1.6 accuracy meets EN 837-1, suitable for professional installation and commissioning
- Glycerin fill can leak if the case is cracked — gauge must be handled and installed carefully
- Brass wetted parts limit use to compatible media only; not suitable for ammonia or aggressive chemical dosing lines
- Fixed bottom-connection orientation — cannot be repositioned to rear-entry without a separate adaptor
