Weksler BW42 pressure washer snubber filter 1/4 inch brass
A brass snubber filter with 1/4 inch NPT connection dampens pressure spikes up to 1,500 psi for water and oil lines
- Protects gauges from pressure spikes with a brass filter snubber
- Handles water and light oil up to 500 psi in non-potable systems
- Brass construction resists wear in heavy-duty outdoor cleaning equipment
- 1/4 inch NPT threads fit standard pressure washer fittings directly
- Hex head design allows quick installation with common tools
Weksler BW42 Pressure Gauge Snubber
The Weksler BW42 is a brass filter-type snubber designed to protect pressure gauges from pulsation and pressure spikes in non-potable water, heavy oil, and light oil systems. It features a 1/4 inch NPT connection and a hexagon head for straightforward installation in compatible piping.
Installers needing pulsation damping for 1/4 NPT
This snubber suits technicians fitting gauges on pumps or hydraulic circuits where fluid hammer causes needle flutter and premature gauge failure. It is not intended for potable water systems, applications exceeding its pressure rating, or installations requiring a corrosion-resistant housing for aggressive chemical environments.
Maximum operating pressure 1 500 psi
The single specification that determines fit is the 1 500 psi maximum operating pressure; the system pressure must stay at or below this limit to prevent damage to the snubber element and ensure reliable gauge protection. The brass construction and filter element are rated for this pressure with the listed compatible fluids only.

Questions about this item
What thread type must my pressure gauge have to fit the 1/4 in NPT connection?
The snubber uses a 1/4 in NPT thread, so the gauge needs a matching 1/4 in NPT male or female fitting to connect directly.
Will the brass filter element handle the same 1,500 psi rating as my existing pump?
Yes, the snubber is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 1,500 psi, matching pumps rated at that level.
How can I confirm the snubber is reducing pressure spikes after installation?
Watch the gauge needle; it should stay steady without the rapid flutter that indicates un-damped pressure pulses.
