The Bowl (BS&W)
The BS&W Bowl (Basic Sediment and Water) is a 3D sight glass created specifically for the drain port. The Bowl is designed to both condition monitor and to trap and purge bottom sediment and water.
- The rounded bottom and accompanying drain valve efficiently captures and purges both water and sediment that gravity pulls to the bottom.
- A built-in magnet captures and displays ferrous wear debris.
- A shield protects the outside of the valve from accumulating debris and impacts.
- Like other Luneta products, the Bowl provides a nearly 360° view of the oil thanks to the ultra-durable, crystal-clear and chemically resistant Tritan™ material.
- A built-in hex makes installation easy with a socket wrench or pliers.
- Two eyelets are provided for tagging useful information such as oil type and an oil colour change card.
- All of these features are packed into a single molded piece to eliminate leak points.
