Model: WLSL - $26.95
This is the flagship product for Brewhardware.com featuring a design that just hasn't been done before. It's also the first kit that solves the calibration markings challenge after you install it. It is a premium kit with everything you need except the drill bit.
Includes:
- 19" Polycarbonate Tubing rated to 250F.
- Stainless Hardware
- 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, contact me)
Install 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.
- Don't forget to grab a Step Bit if ou don't already have one.
- Drill a 1/4" hole in the top/side of your vessel and install eyebolt to hold the sight tube vertical.
- These will NOT work in kegs that have a bulge in the sidewall, e.g. Hoff Stevens kegs.
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.
- 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.
 Note: Converted kegs hold just over 15 gallons so the 16-25 add on strips are not necessary in that case.
It 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

MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE INSTALLATION VIDEO, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW TO INSTALL IT! Bobby, gives several helpful tips that will make it a lot easier, and will make you say "huh, I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense!"
Also, FYI...if you are installing this on a keg, make sure you install them at the specified height (he tells you in the video)! Since he threads them at an angle, the height you mount them on the keg wall matters. I installed mine a little too high on my keg and it made it kind of hard to level. But that's my fault for not following the installation instructions...I still very happy!
Simple, yet elegant. Just what i needed and wanted. Count on BobbyM for prompt shipping and a great crafstmanship. I may need to order another for my HLT soon. Highly recommend

Great Job!!
I just wanted to say that you are a true assest to the home brewing community especially for the new brewer who has no clue where to begin or how to do it. Your videos are awsome! and I will be ordering from you soon. Don't stop doing what you are doing. Cheers!
A little teflon tape on the threads and then an oring under the nut on the inside.
