OVERVIEW

Precision Acetylene Monitoring for Industrial Safety

The Western Enterprises 2.5-Inch Acetylene Pressure Gauge is an essential component for maintaining the safety and efficiency of your oxy-fuel welding and cutting setups. Designed specifically for the low-pressure (delivery) side of acetylene regulators, this gauge features a calibrated scale from 0 to 30 PSI. This specific range is critical for acetylene applications, where working pressures must be carefully monitored to remain below the unstable threshold of 15 PSI. The expanded scale allows operators to dial in precise flame characteristics for welding, brazing, or heating applications with confidence.

Constructed with a durable brass case, this gauge is built to resist corrosion and withstand the physical demands of busy workshops and job sites. The 2.5-inch diameter face offers significantly better visibility than standard 2-inch gauges, reducing eye strain and allowing for quick checks from a distance. The clear, high-contrast dial markings ensure that pressure readings are unambiguous, promoting a safer working environment. It utilizes a standard 1/4-inch NPT bottom mount connection, making it a universal replacement for a wide variety of industrial gas regulators.

Reliability in gas equipment is non-negotiable. This gauge employs a high-quality internal movement mechanism that resists vibration and shock, ensuring consistent accuracy over time. Whether you are refurbishing an older regulator or replacing a damaged face, this Western Enterprises gauge provides the OEM-quality performance required for professional MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) applications. Proper monitoring of outlet pressure is vital for achieving optimal weld quality and preventing dangerous flashbacks or equipment malfunctions.

FAQ

This gauge typically features a 1/4-inch NPT male bottom mount connection, which is standard for most 2.5-inch industrial regulators.

No, this gauge is calibrated for low-pressure acetylene (0-30 PSI) and should not be used for oxygen service due to safety and pressure range incompatibility.

Acetylene is unstable above 15 PSI. A 30 PSI scale provides excellent resolution for the safe working range (0-15 PSI) used in welding and cutting.

This is a 'delivery' or 'outlet' gauge, meaning it measures the pressure going into your hose, not the pressure inside the tank.

It will fit most medium to heavy-duty regulators that accept a 1/4" NPT gauge. Always check your regulator's port size before ordering, as some smaller regulators use 1/8" NPT.

Most acetylene gauges in this class include a red line or shaded area starting at 15 PSI to indicate the maximum safe working pressure.

The case is made of brass, providing durability and resistance to corrosion in industrial environments.

Yes, it is recommended to use PTFE (Teflon) tape or an approved thread sealant on the NPT threads to ensure a leak-free seal.
