Sight Flow, Site Feed, Liquid Level & Column View Gauges

Styles 15500, 15600, 15700 & 15800 Column View Gauges

COLUMN VIEW GAUGES, SHIELDED GLASS SIGHT WITH OR WITHOUT DIAL THERMOMETER

Fluid level and temperature of liquids in reservoirs can be checked instantly with Gits column view gauges. Designed to mount flush against the outside surface of liquid storage vessels, these gauges are used for applications such as tanks, reservoirs, packaged hydraulic equipment, steel mill pumps, and hydraulic presses.

The liquid reaches the sight glass through the lower hollow mounting bolt. Large oil passages yield a quick level response.

MOUNTING

On open tanks with drilled holes, use back mounted gauges fastened from the inside with nuts provided for the 1/2-20 mounting studs. On closed tanks where wall thickness permits tapping, use front mounted gauges installed from the outside by means of 1/2-20 hexagonal head mounting bolts provided.

THERMOMETERS

One-inch dial (0 - 220 F) is standard. The sensing element is fully protected and extends into the tank for accurate temperature indication.

MATERIAL AND OPERATING CONDITIONS

Metal parts are steel protected by zinc plate. O-ring seals are Buna N standard, with Viton A, or Ethylene Propylene available by special order. Sight is gauge glass. Maximum pressure is 125 P.S.I. for gauges up to 36 inches. Maximum temperature is 220 F.

HOW TO ORDER

Popular sizes are shown in these tables, but gauges are available with mounting centers up to 60'' in 1'' increments. Overall length is 1 5/8'' greater and sight openings are 1 1/2'' less than the mounting center distance in all cases.
