Gauge Protective Covers

Gauge Protective Covers are rubber gauge boot accessories for 50mm, 63mm and 100mm pressure gauges. They help protect gauge cases from everyday knocks, handling and site wear while supporting clear identification on plant, machinery, panels and test equipment.

Select the cover to suit the gauge size, case profile, pressure connection position and available installation clearance.

Rubber Gauge Boot Covers

Gauge Protective Covers provide a practical way to help protect pressure gauges from everyday knocks, handling damage and site wear. Often referred to as a rubber gauge boot, this type of cover is commonly used around local pressure indication points where gauges are exposed on plant, machinery, test equipment or service panels.

The main selection point is gauge size. This collection includes protective covers for 50mm, 63mm and 100mm gauges, so the cover should be matched to the nominal dial diameter and the physical style of the instrument. Compatibility with the gauge case, connection position and surrounding installation space should also be checked before ordering.

Protective covers can be useful for replacement gauges, maintenance stock, OEM equipment and new installations where pressure instruments may be handled regularly or installed in exposed locations. They can also assist with visual identification when different gauge positions, services or ranges need to be distinguished on site.

Impact Protection

Rubber gauge covers help reduce the risk of cosmetic and handling damage to pressure gauge cases in workshop, plant and maintenance environments.

Size Matching

Available for 50mm, 63mm and 100mm gauge sizes, these covers should be selected to suit the gauge body and installation layout.

Site Identification

Protective boots can support clearer gauge identification where instruments are grouped on panels, skids, test rigs or process equipment.

Typical Applications

Rubber gauge boot covers are used where pressure gauges need additional protection from handling, site contact or installation exposure.

Plant Maintenance

Useful for replacement pressure gauges fitted during maintenance work, particularly where instruments are handled frequently or installed in accessible areas.

OEM Equipment

Suitable for machinery builders and equipment manufacturers who require a protective finish around local pressure indication points.

Test Equipment

Can help protect gauges on test stands, portable rigs and workshop assemblies where instruments may be moved or repositioned.

Panel Installations

Helpful where multiple gauges are installed together and additional gauge protection or visual differentiation is required.

How to Choose

Select a gauge protective cover by checking the gauge size, case style, connection orientation and available installation space.

Match the Gauge Size

Choose a cover to suit the nominal gauge size. This collection includes options for 50mm, 63mm and 100mm pressure gauges.

Check Case Compatibility

Confirm that the protective boot suits the gauge case profile and does not obstruct the window, bezel or pressure connection.

Consider Installation Clearance

Allow space around the gauge for the cover, especially on crowded panels, compact machinery or instruments mounted close to pipework.

Review Site Conditions

Assess whether the gauge is exposed to knocks, handling, vibration or frequent maintenance access when deciding if a protective cover is required.

Gauge Cover FAQs

Common questions about selecting and using rubber protective covers for industrial pressure gauges.

What is a rubber gauge boot used for?

A rubber gauge boot is fitted around a pressure gauge case to help protect it from knocks, handling damage and general site wear. It can also help with gauge identification.

Do gauge protective covers fit any pressure gauge?

No. The cover should be matched to the gauge size and case style. Check the dial diameter, body shape, connection position and available clearance before ordering.

Which gauge sizes are available in this collection?

This collection includes protective covers for 50mm, 63mm and 100mm pressure gauges. Select the size that corresponds with the nominal gauge diameter.

Can a protective cover be fitted to an existing installed gauge?

In many cases it may be possible, but access and clearance must be checked. The gauge may need to be removed safely if the cover cannot be fitted in position.
