Prevost Pressure Gauges

The Precision Pulse of Your Compressed Air System

Prevost Pressure Gauges are industrial-grade instruments designed to provide accurate, real-time monitoring of your pneumatic system’s performance. Whether mounted on a regulator, a manifold, or at the end of a tool line, these gauges are essential for ensuring that your equipment is operating within its safe and efficient pressure range.

Built to withstand the harsh vibrations and pressure surges of a professional workshop, Prevost gauges offer the clarity and reliability needed for critical pneumatic control.

Key Features

• Dual-Scale Readouts: Most models feature high-contrast displays showing both PSI (Inner scale) and Bar (Outer scale), allowing for easy reading across different measurement standards.
• Vibration Resistant: Engineered with robust internal movements that remain stable even when mounted near reciprocating compressors or high-vibration machinery.
• Universal Compatibility: Available in multiple mounting configurations, including Center Back Mount (ideal for regulators) and Lower Mount (ideal for pipe manifolds).
• Durable Housing: Featuring impact-resistant cases (steel or high-strength polymer) and shatterproof crystals, these gauges are designed for “real-world” shop environments where tools get bumped and dropped.
• Precision Accuracy: Calibrated to industrial standards to ensure that when your regulator says 90 PSI, your tools are actually receiving 90 PSI—protecting sensitive seals and ensuring consistent torque.

Gauge Variations

Prevost offers a wide range of gauges tailored to specific applications:

Gauge Type	Best For…
Standard FRL Gauges	Replacing or upgrading gauges on ALTO or Micro Air units.
Flush-Mount Gauges	Sleek, low-profile integration into panel-mounted regulators.
High-Pressure Gauges	Systems operating up to 300+ PSI.
Vacuum Gauges	Specialized monitoring for suction and vacuum-assist systems.

Technical Specifications

• Thread Sizes: 1/8″, 1/4″, and 1/2″ NPT or G threads (standard industrial interfaces).
• Accuracy Class: Typically Class 1.6 or 2.5 (Standard Industrial Grade).
• Case Materials: Chrome-plated steel, black-painted steel, or reinforced technical polymer.
• Internal Parts: High-quality brass or copper alloy for corrosion resistance.
• Temperature Range: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C).

The Importance of Accurate Monitoring

An air system without a gauge is like a car without a speedometer. Over-pressurizing tools leads to catastrophic failure and safety hazards, while under-pressurizing leads to stalled motors and poor finishes. A Prevost Gauge allows you to diagnose system issues instantly—such as a failing compressor pressure switch or a clogged filter element—before they lead to expensive downtime.

Ideal Applications

• Regulator Replacement: Upgrading broken or “sticky” gauges on existing FRL units.
• Manifold Monitoring: Installing at various points in a large shop to check for pressure drops across long pipe runs.
• Portable Equipment: Adding to portable tanks or tire inflators for precise pressure control.
• Test Benches: Creating diagnostic setups for pneumatic tool repair.
