OVERVIEW

Precision High-Pressure Monitoring for Inert Gas Systems

The Western Enterprises PG15-4000R is a specialized pressure gauge designed to provide accurate readings for high-pressure cylinder contents. Engineered specifically for the welding and industrial gas sectors, this gauge features a compact 1.5-inch diameter dial, making it the ideal replacement or OEM component for flowmeters and compact regulators where space is at a premium. With a measurement range of 0 to 4000 PSI, it is fully capable of handling standard industrial gas cylinder pressures, ensuring operators can safely monitor gas levels from a full tank down to empty.

Constructed with durability in mind, the gauge utilizes a standard 1/8-inch NPT rear mount connection (center back mount), which is the industry standard for most flowmeter bodies and small regulators. This configuration allows the gauge to sit flush against the equipment, reducing the profile and minimizing the risk of impact damage during operation or transport. The internal mechanism is calibrated for reliability, providing consistent performance even in demanding workshop environments.

This specific model is designated for use with inert gases, making it suitable for Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) mixtures commonly used in MIG and TIG welding processes. Proper pressure monitoring is critical for maintaining weld quality; knowing exactly how much gas remains in the cylinder prevents unexpected run-outs that can lead to porosity and weld defects. The clear, high-contrast face ensures that the needle position is legible at a glance, improving workflow efficiency and safety.

Whether you are repairing an existing flowmeter or assembling a new gas delivery system, the PG15-4000R offers the quality and precision associated with Western Enterprises components. Its robust design ensures a long service life, resisting the vibrations and minor shocks often encountered in industrial settings. Ensure your gas equipment is operating at peak performance with this essential high-pressure indicator.

FAQ

This gauge features a 1/8-inch NPT male thread, which is the standard connection size for most 1.5-inch welding gauges and flowmeters.

No, this gauge is specified for inert gases only. Oxygen service requires equipment that has been specifically cleaned for oxygen service ('Use No Oil') to prevent combustion hazards. Always check the dial face for service ratings.

This is a high-pressure gauge (0-4000 PSI) designed to measure the tank (cylinder) pressure, indicating how much gas is left in the bottle.

Unscrew the old gauge, clean the threads on the flowmeter body, apply a small amount of gas-rated Teflon tape or thread sealant to the new gauge's threads (avoiding the first thread), and screw it in until tight and oriented correctly.

It will fit most flowmeters that accept a 1/8" NPT rear mount gauge. However, some larger regulators use 1/4" NPT gauges. It is best to measure your existing port or check the manual to confirm the 1/8" NPT requirement.

It is compatible with inert gases such as Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, and mixtures like Argon/CO2 used in welding.

These gauges typically feature a metal case (usually brass or painted steel) for durability in industrial environments.

No, thread tape is usually sold separately. Ensure you use tape compatible with the gas service intended.
