Conbraco 24-651-03 Gauges

The Conbraco 24-651-03 rough bronze liquid level gauge is a heavy-duty solution designed for precise fluid monitoring in high-pressure industrial environments. These 1/2" NPT male connection gauge valves feature integrated automatic ball checks, a critical safety mechanism that prevents media loss if a glass break occurs. Engineered for durability, the assembly utilizes PTFE with Hypalon glass seals and braided PTFE with Aramid stem packing to ensure a leak-proof seal against aggressive fluids. This chain-operated water gauge set is rated for 250 PSI at 400°F and 500 PSI at 100°F, making it suitable for boiler applications and storage tanks where remote operation is required. The rough bronze finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the Apollo 24-600 series design ensures compatibility with standard 5/8" OD gauge glass. Field technicians prefer this model for its reliable automatic shut-off liquid level gauge functionality and robust construction in commercial HVAC and process piping systems.

• Enhanced Safety: Internal stainless steel ball checks provide automatic shut-off to prevent hazardous spills during glass failure.
• High-Temperature Performance: Braided PTFE and Aramid packing maintain integrity under thermal cycling up to 400°F.
• Remote Operability: The chain-operated lever allows for safe adjustment of valves located in elevated or hard-to-reach areas.
• Durable Sealant: Hypalon glass seals offer superior chemical resistance compared to standard rubber offsets.
• Standardized Fit: 1/2" NPT male pipe threads allow for straightforward integration into existing headers and pressure vessels.

What type of glass is required for the Conbraco 24-651-03?
This gauge set is designed for use with standard 5/8" outer diameter (OD) gauge glass. Ensure the glass length is cut appropriately to accommodate the valve offset and provide sufficient visibility.

Are the automatic ball checks removable for gravity-fed systems?
The ball checks are integrated for safety; however, they require sufficient pressure to seat correctly during a rupture. They are optimized for pressurized vessel applications rather than low-head atmospheric tanks.

Can these valves be used in potable water applications?
These are rough bronze industrial valves primarily intended for boiler feed, HVACR, and process fluid monitoring. Always verify local lead-free requirements for specific potable water installations.
