Dwyer Instruments 1212 Gas Pressure Kit
The Dwyer Instruments 1212 Gas Pressure Kit is a professional-grade diagnostic set designed for HVACR contractors who require laboratory-level precision in a portable format. This kit centers around the Dwyer 1211-16 Slack Tube Manometer, which features a 8-0-8 inch water column range (total 16" w.c.). Unlike rigid gauges, this slack tube manometer is constructed from flexible vinyl-plastic columns and a spring steel scale, allowing it to roll up into a compact profile for easy storage in crowded tool bags. It is specifically engineered for checking gas pressures in commercial and residential appliances, including furnaces, water heaters, and industrial dryers. The scale is center-mounted to eliminate parallax error, ensuring accurate static pressure and differential pressure readings. Equipped with over-pressure safety traps, the 1211-16 prevents the loss of indicating fluid during unexpected pressure surges. The integrated nylon tubing connectors utilize a rapid shutoff design, requiring only a single turn to open for measurement or seal for transport, maintaining a leak-proof system without the need for loose caps.
- Laboratory Accuracy: Delivers precise U-tube manometer readings for calibrating gas valves and control devices.
- Contractor-Grade Portability: The flexible roll-up design and included carrying case maximize space in service vehicles.
- Magnetic Mounting: Integrated magnetic clips allow for hands-free operation on steel furnace jackets and ductwork.
- Robust Chemical Resistance: Molded nylon construction ensures the assembly is corrosion-proof and practically unbreakable in the field.
- Universal Compatibility: Includes 1/8 inch pipe thread adapters and a 3/16 inch rubber tubing set for standard gas pressure testing ports.
Common Questions
What fluid should be used with the Dwyer 1212?
This kit is designed for use with water or mercury. For high-visibility readings, use the included Fluorescein green color concentrate with distilled water. Do not use red gauge oil, as the specific gravity (0.826) is not compatible with the 1211-16 scale.
Can I use this for both positive and negative pressure?
Yes, the Dwyer 1212 kit is suitable for measuring positive pressure, vacuum, and differential pressure. Simply unroll the unit, open the connectors, and connect to the high or low pressure ports as required for your HVAC diagnostics.
How do I prevent fluid loss during transport?
The rapid shutoff molded nylon connectors are designed to seal the columns completely with one turn. This ensures no fluid is lost even when the manometer is rolled tightly and placed in the plastic carrying case.
