  • Rated for 3000 psi maximum operating pressure
  • Operates from 0 to 70 °C (32 to 158 °F)

Pressure Gauge Snubber 1/4 NPT 3000 psi

This piston-type snubber connects via 1/4 inch NPT threads to suppress pressure spikes in measurement systems. It is intended for technicians and engineers who need steadier gauge readings in hydraulic or pneumatic circuits. The red brass body handles a maximum operating pressure of 3000 psi. Buyers who need a different connection size or a corrosion-resistant finish should look elsewhere.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The snubber operates continuously between 0 and 70 degrees Celsius, or 32 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, damping pulsation without a stated flow restriction. Its piston mechanism maintains consistent suppression during extended duty cycles rather than only during brief transients. No corrosion-resistant coating is applied, so prolonged exposure to aggressive media will degrade the brass. Installations requiring chemical compatibility beyond plain brass must verify suitability independently.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The red brass construction provides mechanical strength for the rated 3000 psi limit while the 1/4 NPT threads allow direct mounting to standard gauge ports. The absence of a corrosion-resistant surface means the unit will oxidise in moist or corrosive environments over time. California Proposition 65 warnings indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, so handling precautions are advised. No additional sealing materials or adapters are included.

Questions about this item

Does the 3000 psi piston snubber generate heat during continuous operation?

The brass piston snubber has no moving parts that produce heat; it simply dampens pressure spikes within the 0 to 70 °C operating range.

What thread must the gauge or port already have for this 1/4 NPT snubber to install?

A 1/4 inch NPT female thread is required on the pressure gauge or process port for direct installation.

Will the red brass snubber resist corrosion in older steel piping systems?

The snubber is not corrosion resistant, so it should be used with compatible media and protected from corrosive environments.
