Haltec GA-255 Large Bore Swivel Foot Air Gauge 10-150 psi Brass

Description

Product Overview

The Haltec GA-255 is engineered for professionals who demand reliable pressure measurement in demanding industrial environments. Constructed from nickel‑plated brass, the gauge offers exceptional corrosion resistance and a premium feel that stands up to daily wear. The large bore design accommodates high‑flow valves, while the 360° swivel foot provides unrestricted access to valves positioned in tight or awkward locations. A precision‑calibrated nylon slide bar delivers readings from 10 to 150 psi in 2 psi increments, ensuring that every measurement is both accurate and repeatable. The compact dimensions—6 inches long, half an inch wide, and half an inch thick—make the gauge easy to store, transport, and attach to a variety of equipment. With a weight of only 0.3 lb (4.8 oz), the GA‑255 can be handled effortlessly, reducing operator fatigue during extended use.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of applications, the GA‑255 excels in settings such as manufacturing plants, petrochemical facilities, HVAC maintenance, and laboratory testing. Its robust construction allows it to withstand temperature fluctuations, vibration, and exposure to oil or coolant without compromising performance. Whether you are checking pressure on a large bore pneumatic valve, calibrating a hydraulic system, or performing routine maintenance on compressed‑air equipment, the gauge provides clear, legible readings that help prevent over‑pressurization and equipment failure. The 360° swivel foot is particularly valuable when valves are mounted on confined panels or behind protective guards, as it eliminates the need for awkward repositioning of the gauge or the valve itself. The gauge’s lightweight nature also makes it suitable for field technicians who travel between multiple job sites, ensuring that accurate pressure data is always at hand.

FAQ

What types of valves is the GA‑255 compatible with?

The GA‑255 is designed for large bore pneumatic and hydraulic valves that require a pressure range of 10‑150 psi. Its swivel foot makes it suitable for valves mounted on panels, in confined spaces, or behind protective guards, allowing accurate measurement without repositioning the valve.

How often should the gauge be recalibrated?

For most industrial applications, an annual calibration is recommended to maintain optimal accuracy. However, if the gauge is subjected to extreme temperature changes, mechanical shock, or frequent exposure to corrosive substances, a semi‑annual check may be prudent.

Can the GA‑255 be used in hazardous environments?

While the gauge itself is not intrinsically explosion‑proof, its brass housing and sealed construction provide a degree of protection against sparks and moisture. For classified hazardous areas, Haltec offers compatible explosion‑rated enclosures that can be paired with the GA‑255.

What is the warranty coverage for this gauge?

Haltec provides a one‑year limited warranty covering any manufacturing defects. The warranty includes repair or replacement of the gauge at no cost to the customer, and Haltec’s support team is available to assist with troubleshooting and parts ordering.
