Compact Door Pressure Gauge - 3 Pack | Made in USA

The Push-Pull capability of the Door Pressure Gauge ranges from 0 to 35 Pounds. This instrument is specifically designed to measure the force required to open interior and exterior doors. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that both interior and exterior doors of a building be handicapped accessible. The operating instructions are as follows:

Set the top (small) o-ring located on the plunger rod on zero, down against the instrument's flange; or set the o-ring on the desired force. Holding the instrument firmly, press slowly against the door at a point approximately handle-high, and 30 inches away from the door's hinges. Read the amount of force required to open the door on the plunger scale closest to the bottom of the small o-ring.

The ADA guidelines for door opening force are as follows: - Exterior hinged doors: Reserved - Interior hinged doors: 5 lbs (22.2N) - Sliding or folding doors: 5 lbs (22.2N)

For Automatic/Power Assisted Doors, the ADA guidelines state that such doors shall not open to back check faster than 3 seconds and shall require no more than 15 lbs (66.6N) to stop door movement. If a power-assisted door is used, its door-opening force shall comply with 4.13.11 and its closing shall conform to the requirements in ANSI A156.19-1984.

The package includes three Door Pressure Gauge Push-Pull instruments, 0-35 Lbs, and three Plastic Protective Tubes. The Plastic Protective Tube is 8" long and 7/8" in diameter.

In summary, the Door Pressure Gauge Push-Pull is a versatile instrument designed to measure the force required to open interior and exterior doors, meeting the ADA requirements for accessibility. The package includes three instruments and protective tubes, providing a comprehensive solution for door pressure measurement.
