Cascade Liquid-Filled Fire Apparatus Panel Gauges
Cascade Liquid-Filled Fire Apparatus Panel Gauges provide clear, dependable pressure and vacuum readings for fire pump and apparatus applications. Their liquid-filled construction helps dampen pointer movement caused by vibration while providing stable, easy-to-read measurements in demanding fire-service environments.
Available in 2-1/2 in. and 3-1/2 in. dial sizes, Cascade panel gauges are offered in pressure, compound, and vacuum configurations for monitoring discharge pressure, intake conditions, and other fire pump functions.

FIRE APPARATUS APPLICATIONS
Pressure gauges are commonly used to monitor discharge pressure, while compound and vacuum gauges provide readings for intake and drafting conditions. Select the dial size, gauge type, and pressure range appropriate for the apparatus and installation.
LIQUID-FILLED PERFORMANCE
The liquid-filled case helps reduce pointer fluctuation caused by vibration and apparatus movement. KEM-X freeze protection isolates the internal pressure-sensing components from the water system to help protect against freezing, clogging, and corrosion.
