Wal-Rich 1711016 – 1/4" NPT Tridicator Gauge for Pressure and Temperature Monitoring
The Wal-Rich 1711016 is a combination pressure and temperature gauge designed for hydronic heating systems and other closed-loop plumbing applications. This tridicator provides simultaneous readings of system pressure (in psi) and water temperature (in °F), allowing technicians to monitor system conditions from a single location.
Built for durability and precision, the gauge features a 2-1/2" dial face for visibility, a 1/4" NPT brass connection, and a 1" shank length for standard installations.
