Duratech DURAPRO-12/17/21 R32 Pressure Gauge

This genuine Duratech pressure gauge is a replacement component for DURAPRO-12, DURAPRO-17, and DURAPRO-21 heat pump units running R32 refrigerant. The pressure gauge provides a visual indication of refrigerant pressure within the system, helping with diagnostics and ongoing monitoring.

What Does the Pressure Gauge Do?

The pressure gauge displays the refrigerant pressure at a specific point in the heat pump circuit. This reading is valuable for diagnosing system health, identifying potential issues such as refrigerant leaks or blockages, and verifying that the system is operating within its designed parameters. Engineers rely on accurate pressure readings when servicing, charging, or troubleshooting heat pump systems.

Why Accurate Readings Matter

Refrigerant pressure directly relates to system performance. Abnormally low pressure can indicate a leak or undercharge, while high pressure may suggest a blockage, overcharge, or issues with heat dissipation. A faulty or inaccurate gauge can mask underlying problems or lead to misdiagnosis, making replacement worthwhile if the gauge is damaged, fogged, or giving inconsistent readings.

Signs the Gauge Needs Replacing

Consider replacing the pressure gauge if the needle is stuck, erratic, or not responding to system changes, if the dial face is obscured by condensation or discolouration, if there’s visible physical damage to the gauge housing, or if readings don’t align with measurements taken using external diagnostic equipment.
