Kodiak Controls KC1012530 Gauge

The Kodiak Controls KC1012530 is a high-performance 2 1/2" dial pressure gauge designed for standard utility monitoring in commercial and industrial HVACR systems. Built with a 1/4" NPT lower mount connection, this dry case utility gauge features a 0-30# pressure range, making it ideal for low-pressure air, water, oil, and gas applications where the media is compatible with brass and bronze internals. Often referenced by its alternate part number 1012530, this gauge utilizes a traditional Bourdon tube mechanism providing +/- 3-2-3% accuracy. The black steel case ensures durability in field environments, while the high-contrast white dial offers clear readability for technicians during routine system diagnostics. This analog pressure gauge is a staple for contractors maintaining pneumatic systems, pumps, and residential heating units that require a consistent bottom mount pressure indicator without the need for liquid filling or complex electronic interfaces.

• Versatile Media Compatibility: Engineered for use with non-corrosive fluids and gases, ensuring reliable performance across diverse HVACR service calls.
• Standard NPT Connection: Features a rugged 1/4" NPT lower mount for a leak-free fit with standard piping and manifold configurations.
• Enhanced Dial Visibility: The 2.5-inch face provides a large reading surface, reducing user error during 0-30 PSI pressure testing.
• Field-Proven Durability: The dry case construction is optimized for stable environments, offering a cost-effective solution for permanent system monitoring.

Is the KC1012530 suitable for high-vibration environments?
As a dry case gauge, it is best suited for applications with minimal pulsation. In systems with heavy mechanical vibration, a liquid-filled alternative or a pulsation dampener is recommended to prevent pointer flutter and internal wear.

Can I use this gauge with steam applications?
This gauge is designed for media compatible with brass. For high-temperature steam, always use a pigtail siphon (water seal) to protect the internal Bourdon tube from thermal damage.

What is the difference between the KC1012530 and the 1012530?
These parts are identical in specification and fitment. The prefix "KC" simply denotes the Kodiak Controls branding line for this 2 1/2" utility series.
