Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What systems is the Y50 Radial Pressure Gauge G1/4 6 Bar suitable for?
A: The Y50 pressure gauge is designed for use with water, oil, and air media. It is well-suited for domestic central heating systems, pressurised water supply lines, boilers, compressed air equipment, and garden irrigation systems operating within a 0–6 Bar range.
Q: What does "G1/4 radial connection" mean?
A: G1/4 refers to the thread size of the gauge's inlet port — a standard British Standard Pipe (BSP) thread size of 1/4 inch. "Radial" (or bottom entry) means the connection enters from the bottom of the gauge, making it easy to install inline with pipework while keeping the dial face upright and fully visible.
Q: How do I install the Y50 Pressure Gauge?
A: Installation is straightforward — simply thread the G1/4 connection into a compatible port on your pipework, valve, or manifold. Use PTFE thread tape for a secure, leak-free seal. Ensure the system is depressurised before installation. No special tools are required for standard domestic fittings.
Q: Is the Y50 gauge suitable for use with my home boiler or heating system?
A: Yes. The 0–6 Bar measuring range covers the typical operating pressure of most domestic boilers and central heating systems (usually 1–3 Bar). The G1/4 bottom-entry fitting is a common standard on boiler pressure ports, making it a direct replacement or addition in many setups.
