Oil Sight Glasses

The Hex-Duty Sight Glass is stronger and more durable, with double the pressure rating at 400 psi.  The new hexagonal design allows for easier installation, draining and disassembly. Available in 1-ounce and 3-ounce bottle sizes, with either a ¼”, 3/8”, ½” or ¾” NPT.

Water wreaks havoc on lubrication systems, causing premature wear. With the Hex-Duty OSG, you have immediate visual inspection of the oil and the ability to drain and accumulate water. The OSG is installed directly to a drain port located at the bottom of a reservoir or with an elbow for drain ports located on the sides of equipment. The spring-loaded drain valve is utilized to purge any accumulated water. Any sediment or particles in the lubrication fluid will matriculate to the OSG where, upon inspection, you can determine appropriate action. The OSG is perfect on

High Temperature Oil Sight Glass is a solution when radiant heat is a factor. Offered in 1 ounce or 3 ounce vertical mount, it attaches to the drain valve of equipment and provides immediate oil inspection and ability to see and drain water contamination for high heat applications up to 232°C (450°F). Available in Vertical Style.

Even under extreme temperature conditions, you will still be able to visually monitor the oil qualities and expel water contamination.

The Large Volume Oil Sight Glass vertical models of 16 oz and 32 oz capacity are used in situations where water contamination is severe or the operators want to observe larger volumes of oil.

When reservoirs or equipment produce so much water such that other products cannot hold it all between maintenance checks, the Large Volume Oil Sight Glass provides the extra storage to keep water out of the oil until it can be drained.

Commonly used on large oil reservoirs, or on equipment operated in environments with regular high pressure wash downs or high condensation problems, where water contamination cannot be avoided or minimized.

The added volumes of this line of products provide continuous fluid monitoring of the clarity, colour, sediment and water contamination. 

Added advantage: storage of more water accumulations between service or monitoring intervals.
