Apollo Automatic Water Gauge for Tank Level Inspection
Rough Bronze Gauge With Side-Mounted Handwheels / Right-Hand Turn
A water gauge is a device that allows the liquid level in a tank to be visually inspected. Water gauges are required by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code on steam boilers and are also useful in many other applications, such as monitoring the amount of oil in an oil tank.
An automatic water gauge is one that is equipped with ball checks in the valve body. In the event of glass breakage, these ball checks move horizontally, automatically seat to close the valves, shut off the flow of fluid, and help reduce the risk of property damage and/or personal injury from released fluid. Side-mounted handwheels allow water gauge operation in hard-to-reach places.
Note: Boilers operating above 400 PSIG require two water gauges. All water gauges on all steam boilers must be 1/2" NPT or larger.
This automatic water gauge with handwheels is ideal for concealed, jacket-type boilers or tanks. It is a standard set that includes top and bottom valves, glass and rods. It is compact and requires minimum space.
