In real-world marine systems, pressure spikes from pumps, engines, or hydraulic systems easily exceed that. The PT-SNUB-01 sits in between, using a sintered stainless steel filter disc to slow the rate at which pressure changes reach the transducer — smoothing out pulsations for cleaner readings and absorbing spikes before they reach the sensor. It also prevents debris from collecting in the transducer's diaphragm opening, which is a common cause of fouling and drift over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstall the PT-SNUB-01 onto the 1\/4\" NPT female fitting on the system or tank being monitored first, then thread the FPM100 pressure transducer into the female port on the snubber. Maximum installation torque: 150 in-lbs (16.95 Nm). Required when monitoring systems where pressure spikes or transients are likely, or where pressure may exceed the transducer's rated maximum — engine oil, hydraulic systems, fuel, and pumped water circuits are the most common use cases. Periodic back-flushing with commercial-grade solvents is recommended after long-term use to keep the filter disc clear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maretron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45225937371318,"sku":"MAR\/PT-SNUB-01","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/6584\/6966\/files\/MARPTSNUB01_001.jpg?v=1783451652","url":"https:\/\/ampedupmarine.com\/es\/products\/maretron-pt-snub-01","provider":"Amped Up Marine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
