The Dwyer 2005-SP is a 4 in dial differential pressure gage with a 0-5.0 in w.c. range, 2% of full scale accuracy and 1/8 in female NPT duplicate high and low pressure taps.
It uses Dwyer's frictionless Magnehelic movement: a silicone rubber diaphragm drives a flat spring-steel range spring carrying a samarium cobalt magnet, which rotates a helix in jeweled bearings to move the pointer with no mechanical linkages. The gage needs no external power and no manometer fluid. It indicates positive, negative (vacuum) or differential pressure of air and non-combustible, compatible gases.
Power note. The gage movement is mechanical and needs no supply voltage. The -SP LED set point indicator fitted to this model does require a 12-24 VDC supply.
Features
- Frictionless magnetic movement A samarium cobalt magnet rotates the helix without mechanical linkages, so the design resists shock, vibration and over-pressures.
- Reads at a distance A precision litho-printed scale behind an undistorted clear acrylic cover, with a red-tipped heat treated aluminium pointer rigidly mounted on the helix shaft.
- Weatherproof housing IP67 die cast aluminium case and bezel, iridite-dipped and finished in baked dark grey hammerloid to withstand a 168 hour salt spray corrosion test.
- Zero without opening the gage The zero adjustment screw sits in the cover and is reached without removing it; an O-ring seal maintains pressure tightness.
- Surface or flush mount One case size covers all standard pressure options. Dwyer publishes conflicting central panel openings for set point indicator models, so check Panel Cutout under Specifications and confirm the layout before cutting a panel.
- No manometer fluid The Magnehelic movement is dry, so there is no indicating fluid to service.
- Option -SP: LED Set Point Indicator This model ships with a bright red LED set point indicator on the right of the scale, field adjustable from the gage face and powered from 12-24 VDC.

|---|---|
| Range | 0-5.0 in w.c. |
| Dial Face | 4 in (101.6 mm) diameter |
| Accuracy | +/-2% of full scale throughout range at 70 F (21.1 C). The -HA high accuracy option improves this to +/-1% of full scale for this range. |
| Scale Position | Standard calibration; diaphragm in vertical position. |
| Service | Air and non-combustible, compatible gases. Natural gas option available. May be used with hydrogen when ordered with a Buna-N diaphragm at pressures below 35 psi. |
| Media Compatibility | Air and non-combustible, compatible gases. Consult factory to confirm compatibility with a specific gas before ordering. |
| Wetted Materials | Consult factory. |
| Housing | Die cast aluminium case and bezel with a clear acrylic cover. Exterior finish coated grey to withstand a 168 hour salt spray corrosion test. |
| Cover and Bezel | The set point indicator option requires an MP or HP style cover and bezel (Series 2000-SP datasheet). |
| Total Pressure Limit | 35 psig (2.41 bar); HP option 80 psig (5.52 bar) |
| Overpressure | Dwyer publishes the relief plug as opening at approximately 25 psig (1.72 bar) on standard gages only, and separately states that no blowout plug is used on medium or high pressure models. Because the set point indicator option requires an MP or HP style cover and bezel, ZOT Supply has not been able to establish from published documentation whether a relief plug is fitted to this configuration. Do not rely on a relief plug on this model. Contact us or DwyerOmega if overpressure venting matters to your application. |
| Enclosure Rating | IP67 |
| Temperature Limits | 20 F (-6.67 C) to 140 F (60 C) |
| Dial Size | 4 in (101.6 mm) diameter dial face |
| Mounting Orientation | Diaphragm in vertical position. Consult factory for other orientations. |
| Panel Cutout (flush mount) | Dwyer publishes two conflicting central panel openings for set point indicator models: 4-13/16 in in the Series 2000 catalog note for -SP, and 4-3/4 in (120 mm) in Bulletin A-27 for the MP and HP cover and bezel style this option requires. Separately, and not as a third opening, the Series 2000-SP datasheet specifies the mounting hole pattern as four 6-32 holes on a 5-1/8 in bolt circle with a 5 in outside diameter bezel and a 5-1/2 in outside diameter mounting ring; it gives no central hole diameter at all. Confirm the layout for your exact part with DwyerOmega before cutting a panel. |

| Weight | 1 lb 2 oz (510 g) |
| Standard Accessories | Two 1/8 in NPT plugs for duplicate pressure taps, two 1/8 in pipe thread to rubber tubing adapters and three flush mounting adapters with screws. |
| RoHS Compliance | The Series 2000 catalog page carries a legacy note that -SP models are not RoHS approved. DwyerOmega now operates a per-part certificate system that supersedes that note for at least one -SP model, so the blanket statement can no longer be relied on. ZOT Supply has not independently verified the status of this exact part number. Use the DwyerOmega compliance-status lookup in Documentation, confirm that the certificate returned identifies this exact part number, or contact us, before specifying this model into a RoHS-controlled assembly. |
| Design Origin | Designed in the USA using high quality components (Series 2000 product flyer). Dwyer does not publish a country of manufacture for this series, so no country of origin is claimed here. |
| Warranty | 5 Year Limited Warranty |
For applications with a high cycle rate within the gage total pressure rating, Dwyer recommends selecting the next higher pressure rating. See the medium (-MP) and high (-HP) pressure options.
Ordering Options
| -HA | High accuracy. Dwyer states +/-1% of full scale on standard +/-2% ranges, +/-1.5% on the -0, -100PA, -125PA and -10MM ranges, and +/-2% on the -00, -60PA and -6MM ranges. For this model the -HA figure is +/-1% of full scale. Includes a mirrored scale overlay and a six point calibration certificate. |
|---|---|
| -HP | High pressure, for pressures to 80 psig. |
| -LT | Low temperature, to -20 F (-28 C). |
| -ASF | Adjustable signal flag, integral with the plastic gage cover. Not available on medium or high pressure construction. |
| -SS / -SB / -CB | Brushed 304 stainless, electropolished 304 stainless, or chrome plated bezel. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pressure range of the Dwyer 2005-SP?
The Dwyer 2005-SP is a standard Magnehelic differential pressure gage with a 0-5.0 in w.c. range and +/-2% of full scale accuracy at 70 F (21.1 C).
Does the Dwyer 2005-SP need power or wiring?
The gage movement itself is mechanical and needs no power. The -SP LED set point indicator on this model does require a 12-24 VDC supply.
What is the maximum pressure the Dwyer 2005-SP can take?
The total pressure limit is 35 psig (2.41 bar); HP option 80 psig (5.52 bar). Dwyer documentation does not establish whether a relief plug is fitted to the set point indicator configuration, so do not rely on one. Engineer the system not to exceed the rating.
What media can the Dwyer 2005-SP be used with?
Dwyer specifies air and non-combustible, compatible gases. A natural gas option is available, and the gage may be used with hydrogen when ordered with a Buna-N diaphragm at pressures below 35 psi.
What panel opening does the Dwyer 2005-SP need for flush mounting?
Dwyer publishes two conflicting central openings: 4-13/16 in in the Series 2000 catalog and 4-3/4 in (120 mm) in Bulletin A-27 for the MP and HP cover and bezel style this option requires. The Series 2000-SP datasheet gives no central hole diameter; it specifies the mounting hole pattern as four 6-32 holes on a 5-1/8 in bolt circle. Confirm the layout with DwyerOmega before cutting a panel.
Is the Dwyer 2005-SP RoHS compliant?
It depends on the exact part number, and you should confirm it rather than rely on a general statement. The Series 2000 catalog carries a legacy note that -SP models are not RoHS approved, but DwyerOmega per-part certificates supersede that note for at least one -SP model. A live DwyerOmega compliance-status lookup for this part number is in the Documentation section. Confirm that the certificate it returns identifies this exact part number before relying on it.
