Description

The SG13 is a maintainable brass multi-window sight glass with a

cylindrical viewing window and screwed connections. The sight

glass monitors the discharge downstream of steam traps in

pressurised condensate return lines. It is screwed directly into the

steam trap providing a modular monitoring system, thus eliminating

the need for a connecting nipple, minimising joints and potential

leak paths.

The sight glass can also be installed in process lines to provide a

visual indication of flow.
