Conbraco Industries 20-601-00 Water Gauge

The Conbraco Industries 20-601-00 Water Gauge is a heavy-duty chain operated water gauge engineered for high-pressure steam and liquid level monitoring in industrial boiler applications. Constructed from high-integrity rough bronze, this gauge set features 1/2" NPT male connections and a standard 5/8" OD x 12" length glass tube for clear visibility of fluid levels. Designed for overhead or inaccessible installations, the chain operation allows technicians to safely actuate the valves from the floor level using a quarter-turn mechanism. This unit is rated for demanding thermal environments, supporting a service rating of 250 PSI at 400F and 500 PSI at 100F. Reliable sealing is maintained through a high-grade EPDM glass seal and Teflon stem packing, ensuring a leak-free interface even under significant thermal cycling. This Apollo water gauge is a critical component for ASME boiler code compliance in steam plants and process vessels.

• Industrial Durability: Robust rough bronze body resists corrosion and withstands the mechanical stresses of high-pressure steam systems.
• Remote Operation: Integrated chain lever mechanism provides ease of use for valves installed in elevated or hard-to-reach locations.
• Superior Sealing: Equipped with Teflon stem packing and EPDM gaskets for chemical resistance and temperature stability.
• High-Pressure Ready: Rated for 500 PSI at ambient temperatures and 250 PSI at saturated steam temperatures (400°F).
• Vessel Monitoring: Transparent 5/8" OD sight glass allows for immediate and accurate liquid level verification.

Common Questions

Is the glass included with the 20-601-00 set?
Yes, this specific model comes as a complete set including the top and bottom valves, a 12-inch standard glass tube, and the necessary chain for operation.

Can I use this gauge for petroleum-based oil monitoring?
While the bronze body is compatible with many fluids, the standard EPDM glass seal is generally not recommended for petroleum products. For oil service, consider replacing the gaskets with Viton or consult our technical team for a compatible configuration.

What is the maximum reach for the chain lever?
The Conbraco 20-601-00 is typically furnished with 12 feet of chain, allowing for substantial reach from the floor to the boiler's water column or tapping points.
