Conbraco 25-501-00 Gauge
The Apollo Conbraco 25-501-00 is an industrial-grade, square pattern bronze water gauge designed for reliable liquid level monitoring in boiler and tank applications. Built with a heavy polished bronze body, it features 1/2" NPT male connections and is equipped with automatic ball checks. These integral ball checks are critical for safety, designed to shut off the flow of fluid immediately if the gauge glass is compromised, preventing scalding or hazardous leaks. The assembly includes a 5/8" OD x 12" length standard glass tube protected by four sturdy guard rods to ensure durability in high-traffic mechanical rooms.
Engineered for rigorous environments, this sight glass assembly utilizes EPDM glass seals and a PTFE with Hypalon stem packing for superior leak resistance and chemical compatibility. The aluminum type wheel provides a tactile, rugged interface for manual isolation. This liquid level gauge is rated for a maximum pressure of 400 PSI at 100°F and 200 PSI at 400°F, making it a standard choice for steam and high-temperature water systems requiring ASME-compliant water gauges.
Key Benefits- Automatic Safety Shut-off: Features automatic ball checks to prevent fluid loss and operator injury during glass failure.
- Durable Construction: High-quality polished bronze water gauge body resists corrosion and withstands industrial pressure cycles.
- High-Temperature Reliability: Equipped with PTFE and Hypalon stem packing and EPDM seals for service up to 400°F.
- Enhanced Protection: Includes four guard rods and a protective square pattern design to shield the boiler sight glass.
- Standardized Fit: Utilizes 1/2 inch MNPT pipe connections for straightforward integration into existing hydronic or steam headers.
Are the ball checks effective for both steam and liquid?
Yes, the vertically rising ball checks are designed to seat quickly against the flow in the event of a pressure differential caused by a broken glass, working effectively in both steam and liquid applications.
Can I replace the standard glass with a high-pressure or red-line version?
The Conbraco 25-501-00 is compatible with any 5/8" OD glass. If your application requires higher visibility or specialized pressure ratings, you can substitute the standard 12" glass with a 5/8" Red-Line or high-pressure tubular glass.
How do I maintain the stem packing to prevent leaks?
The PTFE/Hypalon packing is adjustable. If weeping occurs at the stem, a slight tightening of the packing nut usually restores the seal. For major overhauls, standard 25-500 series repair kits are available.
