Conbraco 25-502-00 Gauge
The Conbraco 25-502-00 Gauge is a professional-grade square pattern water gauge set designed for high-pressure boiler water level monitoring. Constructed from polished bronze, this unit features 1/2" NPT male connections and is supplied with a 5/8" OD x 12" length standard glass tube for clear visual interface tracking. Internally, the gauge is equipped with automatic ball checks to prevent hazardous fluid loss in the event of glass breakage, a critical safety feature for steam applications. The sealing system utilizes a PTFE with Hypalon stem packing and an EPDM glass seal, ensuring chemical compatibility and leak-free performance under varying thermal loads. Rated for 400 PSI at 100°F and 200 PSI at 400°F, this liquid level gauge is built for the rigors of industrial hydronic environments. The composite plastic type wheel provides ergonomic control while maintaining high-temperature durability, making it a standard choice for contractors requiring reliable Apollo 25-502-00 specifications.
Key Benefits- Safety Shut-off: Integrated automatic ball checks instantly restrict flow if the sight glass is compromised, protecting personnel and equipment.
- High-Temperature Durability: Rated for up to 400°F at 200 PSI, making it suitable for low to medium pressure steam boiler service.
- Superior Sealing: The combination of EPDM glass gaskets and PTFE/Hypalon packing offers excellent resilience against common boiler chemicals and thermal cycling.
- Rugged Construction: Heavy-duty polished bronze body resists corrosion and provides long-term structural integrity in demanding boiler rooms.
What is the purpose of the ball checks in the Conbraco 25-502-00?
The automatic ball checks are safety mechanisms that seat against the orifice if the glass breaks. This prevents the uncontrolled release of high-pressure steam or hot water, which is a standard requirement for many HVACR and industrial safety protocols.
Can this gauge be used for petroleum-based fluids?
While the bronze body and PTFE packing are highly resistant, the standard EPDM glass seal is generally not recommended for petroleum products. For oil-related service, a Viton seal swap is typically required to ensure compatibility.
How do I prevent the glass from breaking during installation?
Always ensure the top and bottom 1/2" MNPT fittings are perfectly aligned. Use the 5/8" OD glass as a guide and avoid any metal-to-glass contact. Hand-tighten the packing nuts and then apply a 1/2 turn with a wrench to avoid over-compressing the EPDM seals.
