PG mounting

I need to mount a pressure gauge (nominal diameter 160mm) on a DN40 Sch 80, stainless steel pipe. Can this PG be locally mounted on the pipe or do I need to mount it remotely (i.e. on a manifold block on a stand)? I am worried that the stainless steel pipe cannot support the weight of the gauge block and PG.

Anyone have experience with this?

40mm Sched 80pipe is plenty strong enough, but if there is any vibration I would mount the gauge on a panel with some instrument tubing to the pipe.
