Safety information, installation and maintenance For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-P027-02) supplied with the product. Installation note: As with all instrumentation, the Spirax Sarco pressure gauge is a delicate measuring device and care has to be taken in its installation and use if it is to remain reliable. It is recommended that all gauges are fitted with a gauge cock to assist when calibration or maintenance is necessary. When used on steam or other hot gases, gauges must be protected from heat by the use of a 'U' syphon or ring syphon tube and gauge cock. The syphon pipe should be primed with water prior to fitting the gauge. Care should be taken if the installation is exposed to frost as gauges can burst. Disposal: The product is recyclable. No ecological hazard is anticipated with the disposal of this product providing due care is taken. How to order Example: 1 off Spirax Sarco ½" pressure gauge with pressure range of 0 - 160 psi and having screwed NPT connections. Spare parts There are no spare parts available for Spirax Sarco pressure gauges.
