Weldless Compact Sight Glass with 2" Dial Thermometer PDF Print E-mail

 

tn4EZST240Model: WLST240R -  44.99

This is the popular sight glass and thermometer combination kit that is built on the simplicity of the EZ-sight design. The only real difference is the TEE fitting instead of an elbow and it includes a thermometer. Two functions in one convenient weldless setup. From now on, these will include recalibratable thermometers which accounts for the slight increase in price.

 

Includes:

  • 19" Polycarbonate Tubing rated to 250F.
  • SS Tee and Mounting Hardware
  • 2" Dial Face Thermometer4" probe length, 20-240F (Celcius marks as well), 1% of range accuracy. WITH recalibration screw on the back.
  • High Temp. Silicone Gasket
  • Stainless eye bolt for securing the tube to the top of your pot.
  • Black Vinyl Numbers for each gallon mark from 2 to 15.(5-50 liter also available, see below)

tn4EZST240_installedInstall Requirements:

  • Drill a clean 9/16" diameter hole in the side of your HLT or boil kettle and install liquid connection hand tight, or just snug with a wrench. The weldless system is 100% leak free the first time with no teflon tape or messing around.
  • Drill a 1/4" hole in the top/side of your vessel and install eyebolt to hold the sight tube vertical.
  • Don't forget to grab a Step Bit if you don't already have one.

Options:

  • You must specify if your vessel is straight sided or a converted keg. The tubing meant for a keg is threaded at a slight angle so that it remains vertical when installed into the curved bottom edge. If this is confusing, please view this video.
  • In addition to the standard (most common) Sanke style keg, you can also purchase a kit for a keg with a bulged side wall.These will work on kegs such as Coors and  Hoff Stevens kegs.
  • The standard calibration numbers included with this kit is 2-15 gallons. If you have a slightly larger vessel than 15 gallons, you can also add an extension strip that will add numbers 16-25 as well as 24 smaller arrows for 1/2 gallon increments below. If you would like to substitute 5-60 numbers for Litres, you must select "substitute 5-60 litres" in the dropdown below and click the "add to cart" button separately.
What kind of vessel?


Aternative Number Options

550cal

16_25cal

Note: Converted kegs hold just over 15 gallons so the 16-25 add on strips are not necessary in that case.

 


 

tn14brushIt is also highly recommended that you add at least one 20" long, 1/4" diameter nylon brush to your order for occassional cleaning of the interior of the entire sight tube (use with water or your favorite kettle cleaning detergent). $3.25

Excellent product, improved my first brewday with it quite a bit. I could never get my volumes right... until now.
Super support: Videos, written and email support if you need it (I did, cause I'm a doof, not because of the product)

Keep up the great work.

This is the very best product for doing what it does and it is at a fantastic price. Very easy to install so long as you have a GREAT bit for cutting SS. The customer service provided by Mr. Bobby is out-stand-ing. Order with confidence and you'll be proud of your brew kettle and HLT.

I wanted to use the Weldless Sight/Thermometer a couple of times before writing a review. This is a fantastic addition to any keg brew kettle. Installation was a snap thanks to Bobby's instructional video. The thermometer installed upside down but, after contacting Bobby for support (e-mailed me back the next day) We decided to wrap teflon tape around the fitting three times. This made made the Thermometer water tight when I tightened it to a quarter turn from being upside down (the top is at the 3 o'clock position). The thermometer is sideways but, I am only reading temps at 160F or higher for my strike and batch sparge water, so it actually prevents me from having to stoop down to read the thermometer. The stickers on the site gauge make adding water to the mash tun a breeze. Beats using my stick gauge ! Over all this is a quality piece of hardware that is reasonably priced. I bet one of the big catalog outfits would charge more and they certainly wouldn't have an instruction video.

Excellent product. I installed this on an old keg a friend gave me. Can't wait to try it out. Instructions were simple for someone who can barely drill a hole. That was the longest and worst part for me and had absolutely nothing to do with the sight gauge/thermometer.

Filled it up, calibrated it and not a leak to be found. The stickers were not my best job but they are close enough.

I have just a sight gauge to install on my aluminum boil kettle next, hope it goes as smoothly.

Thanks again for the excellent product and super fast shipping!

:D

This is a great product and was very easy to install with no leaks. The video does a thorough job of explaining installation and calibration.

I was happy to buy from such an active supporter of the brewing community.

Quick shipping and easy installation, took about 15 minutes.

Video was very helpful, don't skip it.

Calibration went easily, instead of trying to find a one gallon container and filling it properly I used my 5 gallon bottling bucket spigot placed on a shelf over the Keg,refilling it every time it got to the 2 gallon mark from another bucket. If I had two people I would not even have had to stop the flow.

My only issue,purely cosmetic,is the Thermometer not being able to center it - no big deal though.

Thank you for your great service,Bobby!

I agree, the workmanship is amazing and service spectacular. Bobby shipped all the way out here, on the West Coast of Canada, and it was cheaper and better than anything I could find here. I can't recommend his work enough!

Super fast shipping and packaged well! I am very pleased! I have Sankeys in the basement for 6 months with the tops cut out, and I have been slowly ordering parts. I was estatic to discover Bobby's site with the sight glass and thermometer combos! The price cannot be beat and from what I have seen in the quality of the product received, it is GREAT STUFF! I brewed my last 5 gallon batch last weekend, and now have all of the stuff for an HLT and a boil pot! This will perform as expected I am sure! THANKS!

Installed quite easily, just go slow with the step bit, provide plenty of oil, and check your progress check time it moves up a step. I found that putting Teflon tape around the thermometer threads 3-4 times helps make it watertight and allows you to center it while providing a snug fit.
Vinyl numbers make the finished product look professional. Great addition to my brewing setup!

still on track for the 4/15 availability date? I'm raedy to buy a couple. Quick question - judging the scale by eye it looks like the 4" probe will not make it into the keggle very far, leaving the temp reading to be taken mostly from the wort in the site glass, which doesn't seem accurate. How far does the probe actually protrude into the keggle? 1/2"? 1"? Thanks alot. -Alan.

0 # Bobby 2011-04-14 15:09
Alan, yes the buy button will go up on 4/15 as planned.. The 4" probe extends into the vessel by nearly 2" which is plenty. The bimetal strip is at the tip. Trust me, if accuracy were a problem, this area would be littered with negative reviews.

Scot, if you find that the assembly is getting too hot, a simple heat shield underneath would solve it easily.

Purchased this with some other items from the site. After re-reading the instructions (Thanks Bobby, I got excited...) it installed easily and works flawlessly! Easy to read numbers, crystal clear polycarbonate tubing, and included eye bolt and 1/4" nuts make this the best kit for your dollar. The thermometer included is high quality, and extraordinarily accurate out of the box. I would highly recommend this to anyone out there who is seeking the highest quality homebrewing sight glass available!

Thanks Bobby!
