Conbraco 23-450-00 Gauge

The Conbraco 23-450-00 is an industrial-grade stainless steel liquid level gauge designed for high-pressure applications requiring precise visual monitoring. Engineered with 1/2" NPT male connections and a 5/8" OD x 12" length high-pressure glass, this unit is built to withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stress. The assembly features automatic ball checks as a critical safety mechanism, preventing medium loss in the event of glass rupture. For high-temperature resilience, it utilizes PTFE with Hypalon glass seals and braided Teflon with Aramid stem packing, ensuring a leak-proof seal even under fluctuating pressures. The aluminum type wheel provides rugged manual control. This water gauge set is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 500 PSI at 450F, making it a reliable choice for boiler systems and chemical processing tanks where material compatibility and liquid level measurement accuracy are non-negotiable for system safety and performance.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Safety: Integrated automatic ball checks prevent hazardous fluid leaks if the gauge glass is compromised.
• High-Temperature Durability: The 316 stainless steel construction and specialized Aramid packing handle up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Chemical Resistance: PTFE and Hypalon seals offer broad compatibility with various industrial fluids and chemicals.
• Precise Visibility: Equipped with high-pressure glass for clear viewing of liquid levels in pressurized tanks.
• Industrial Build: Aluminum handwheel ensures long-term operational durability in harsh mechanical environments.

Common Questions

What is the purpose of the automatic ball checks in this gauge?
The ball checks act as a safety shut-off. If the glass breaks, the pressure differential forces the balls against their seats, stopping the flow of liquid from the vessel.

Is the 23-450-00 compatible with steam applications?
Yes, given its 500 PSI at 450F rating, it is suitable for various steam and boiler processes, provided the chemical compatibility of the seals matches your medium.

Can the glass be replaced without replacing the entire valve set?
Yes, the 12-inch high-pressure glass is a standard size, allowing for field replacement while the stainless steel valve bodies remain piped into the system.
