Type 1008A gauges are syn-
onymous with durability, flexibility and
exceptional quality.
The Type 1008A case and ring assembly
is constructed of durable, corrosion-resist-
ant stainless steel. The gauge enclosure
is sealed to provide maximum protection
in adverse environmental conditions. The
core of the Type 1008A is the patented
Power
Flex
TM
movement. This movement
provides a higher level of resistance to
shock, vibration and pulsation than con-
ventional gauge movements.
Both 63mm and 100mm Type 1008A
gauges are available dry, field fillable,
glycerin filled or silicone filled. Weld nuts
are standard on all back connection
gauges, therefore, any back-connection
gauge with the addition of a U-clamp
accessory kit, can be panel mounted. For
limited space constraints, the front-flange
mounting kit is offered. Where it is neces-
sary to convert a larger panel opening to
a smaller size, the retrofit flange kit is
available. Custom dials and metric sockets
are also available.
True Zero
™
indication, a unique safety
feature standard on these gauges, is the
accurate indication of zero pressure being
applied to the gauge. In addition to the
increased safety benefits, this means
reduced inspection and manufacturing
costs for you and your customer.
