Weiss Case Mount Gauge | 4CTS-1-160-4L-BR | 4″ Dial | 0-160 PSI/BAR
Product Description
The 4CTS-1-160-4L-BR is a specialized gauge featuring a 4-inch (100 mm) dial and an integrated front flange. Based on the Weiss nomenclature: “CTS” signifies the stainless steel case with a front flange for flush mounting, “160” is the pressure range, and “4L” indicates a 1/4″ NPT Lower (Bottom) Mount connection. The “BR” denotes precision brass internals.
This gauge is scaled for 0-160 PSI (0-11 BAR), making it a highly versatile instrument for monitoring domestic water pumps, secondary chilled water loops, and air supply panels in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The polished stainless steel case provides excellent protection against the high humidity and corrosive saline air common in Middle Eastern coastal regions.
Key Features
- Flush Panel Mounting: The integrated front flange allows for a clean and secure installation into control panels, ensuring only the dial face is visible.
- Large 4″ High-Visibility Dial: Offers an oversized viewing area, ensuring pressure readings are clear and easy to see from a distance in plant rooms.
- Stainless Steel Durability: The housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for enhanced longevity in demanding environments.
- Dual Scale (PSI/BAR): Simultaneously displays pressure in both imperial and metric units, satisfying international engineering standards in the UAE.
- Precision Brass internals: Utilizes a high-grade brass Bourdon tube and socket for consistent performance with non-corrosive media.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How does the “4L” (Lower Mount) work for panel mounting?
- A: While many panel gauges use a back connection, the “4L” version is designed for panels where the internal plumbing is located below the gauge, allowing for easier tubing runs.
- Q: Is this gauge liquid-filled?
- A: This specific model is a “Dry” gauge. If your installation is subject to heavy pump vibration, a liquid-filled (LF) version should be requested to protect the pointer.
- Q: Can this be used for compressed air?
- A: Yes, the 160 PSI range is the industry standard for monitoring commercial and industrial compressed air systems.
