Sightglass with Threaded Bushing PDF Print E-mail

tn2WSB

Model: SB - $14.95

This kit is a specialty item that I made up after getting several requests to do so. It is simply a polycarbonate sight tube threaded into a stainless bushing with 1/2" NPT male threads. One use is to make your own thermometer/sight glass setup with your own 1/2" TEE and thermometer.

 

Includes:

  • 19" Polycarbonate Tubing rated to 250F.
  • Stainless Hardware
  • Black Vinyl Numbers for each gallon mark from 2 to 15.
  • Note: You must supply your own eyebolt because the length is dependent on how recessed the coupling was welded in.

 

Install Requirements:

  • This kit requires that you already an assembly of parts installed in your vessel that would present a vertical 1/2" NPT female thread to thread this unit into. I thread the tubing into the bushing as straight as possible so it requires your fittings to be level/plumb. If they are not, the tubing may angle away from the vessel at the top. If your parts are welded to the kettle, threading in a long piece of pipe allows you to tweak the vessel wall to make slight adjustments.
  • Put a few turns of teflon tape on the threads of the sightglass bushing and thread it in the fitting is snug and leak free.

Options:

This kit requires no options. See install requirements.

Really nice item. I so appreciate functional and reasonably priced products.This replaces a fancy glass and stainless job that sheared off at the bushing and shattered when I barely bumped the thing. This one looks sturdier. I'll replace my other two if or when I bust them.
Also, Bobby ships fast and the stickers are cool too!
