Kodiak Controls EA14B Gauge
The Kodiak Controls EA14B Gauge is a professional-grade 4 1/2 inch dial pressure gauge engineered for accuracy and durability in demanding commercial HVAC and plumbing environments. This contractor pressure gauge features a 0-60 PSI scale with a high-visibility white dial and bold black numerals, ensuring legible readings even in low-light mechanical rooms. Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel case and a 1/4 inch NPT lower mount, the EA14B is designed for direct installation into manifolds and piping systems. The internal mechanism utilizes a soft-soldered phosphor bronze Bourdon tube and a brass socket, making it compatible with air, water, oil, and gas media that do not corrode copper alloys. For field calibration, the unit includes an adjustable black aluminum pointer and a zero-adjusting screw. With an ASME B40.1 Grade 1A accuracy rating (1% of span), this dry case pressure gauge is the standard choice for monitoring system pressure in boilers, pumps, and industrial process lines.
Key Benefits- High-Precision Monitoring: Features a 1% full-scale accuracy (ASME B40.1 Grade 1A) for critical pressure verification in HVACR systems.
- Field Serviceability: Equipped with an external zero-adjustment screw and an adjustable pointer to maintain calibration during routine maintenance.
- Rugged Construction: The 304 stainless steel case and bezel provide superior protection against harsh mechanical room environments compared to standard plastic alternatives.
- Broad Media Compatibility: Suitable for air, water, oil, and non-flammable gas applications where copper alloys are permissible.
- Enhanced Readability: The large 4.5-inch dial face and 270-degree arc allow for precise pressure monitoring at a distance.
Is this gauge suitable for steam applications?
While the brass and bronze internals are robust, a siphon (pigtail) must be installed between the gauge and the line to protect the Kodiak EA14B from high-temperature steam damage.
Can this gauge be used in high-vibration environments?
This is a dry case gauge. For applications with extreme mechanical vibration or rapid pressure pulsations, a liquid-filled gauge is generally recommended to dampen pointer flutter and reduce internal wear.
What is the maximum operating temperature for this unit?
The Kodiak Controls EA14B is designed for an ambient temperature range of -40°F to 140°F. Ensure the process media temperature does not exceed the limits of the copper alloy wetted parts.
