Conbraco 20-001-01 Repair Kit

The Conbraco 20-001-01 Repair Kit is a comprehensive maintenance solution engineered for technical professionals servicing Apollo Valves liquid level gauges. This kit is specifically designed for high-pressure boiler sight glass applications, providing all necessary critical seals to restore leak-free operation. It is compatible with 5/8" OD gauge glass and fits a wide range of industrial models, including the Conbraco 20-101, 20-102, 20-104, 20-151, and 21-102 series. The kit features EPDM washers and TFE-Hypalon packing, ensuring a wide temperature operating range from -20°F to 450°F. Integrating brass friction washers and teflon washers reduces torsional stress on the glass during the tightening process, which is vital for preventing premature glass failure in steam service environments. As a veteran-grade water gauge repair kit, it addresses common stem packing leaks and glass gasket degradation, maintaining system integrity and clear visibility in demanding HVACR and industrial fluid monitoring systems.

Key Benefits:

• Universal Compatibility: Engineering-matched for Apollo Conbraco 20-series and 21-series water gauge valves using 5/8 inch glass.
• High-Temperature Durability: Includes TFE with Hypalon seals suitable for saturated steam and high-heat applications up to 450°F.
• Mechanical Protection: Brass friction washers minimize friction during assembly, protecting the tubular gauge glass from stress fractures.
• Complete Seal Set: Provides stem packing, seat washers, and drain washers for a total valve overhaul, not just a glass swap.

Common Questions:

Which Conbraco models does the 20-001-01 kit work with?
This kit is the standard repair solution for 5/8" glass models including the 20-101, 20-102, 20-104, 20-105, 20-151, 20-410, 21-101, and 21-102 series. Always verify the glass outside diameter (OD) is 5/8" before installation.

Can this kit be used for petroleum-based fluid applications?
The included EPDM washers are excellent for steam and water but are generally unsuitable for petroleum oils. For oil-related service, a Viton glass gasket set is recommended to ensure chemical compatibility.

Why does the kit include multiple types of washers?
The combination of EPDM, Teflon, and Hypalon materials allows the technician to achieve a superior seal across different media. The brass friction washers are crucial for allowing the packing nut to slide without twisting the seal or the glass.
