Conbraco 24-651-00 Gauge
The Conbraco 24-651-00 is an industrial-grade liquid level-gauge designed for high-pressure boiler and tank applications requiring precise visual monitoring. This rough bronze level gauge features 1/2" NPT male connections and utilizes a 5/8" OD x 12" high-pressure glass tube to ensure durability under thermal stress. To prevent hardware damage and fluid loss during glass breakage, the unit is engineered with automatic ball checks that immediately seat to stop flow. The chain-operated handle allows for efficient manual shut-off from floor level, a critical feature for overhead installations. High-performance sealing is achieved through PTFE with Hypalon glass seals and a braided PTFE with Aramid stem packing, ensuring a tight seal against aggressive media. This assembly is rated for 250 PSI at 400°F or 500 PSI at 100°F, making it a reliable choice for Conbraco sight glass replacements and new boiler water level indicator setups.
Key Benefits
- Safety Integration: Features ball check valves to prevent medium loss in the event of glass failure.
- Enhanced Sealing: Aramid-reinforced PTFE packing provides superior leak resistance and service life compared to standard elastomers.
- High-Pressure Glass: Equipped with 12" high-pressure glass for clear visibility and resistance to thermal shock.
- Remote Operation: Chain-operated lever ensures technicians can quickly isolate the gauge without needing a ladder.
- Durable Construction: Built from heavy-duty rough bronze for corrosion resistance in steam and water applications.
Common Questions
What is the maximum pressure rating for this liquid level gauge?
The Conbraco 24-651-00 is rated for a maximum of 500 PSI at 100°F and 250 PSI at saturated steam temperatures up to 400°F.
Are the ball checks required for all installations?
Yes, the automatic ball checks are integrated to meet safety standards, ensuring that flow is restricted if the sight glass is compromised, protecting both the operator and the equipment.
What type of maintenance is required for the stems?
The braided PTFE with Aramid packing is designed for low maintenance, but the packing nut should be checked for tightness during routine boiler inspections to ensure a leak-free seal.
