Product overview

What it does, and where it fits.

This model uses investment cast stainless flanges rather than machined bar stock, which brings the cost down substantially while keeping the clean internal form of a casting. The catalogue positions it for low pressure applications where a bar-stock unit would be over-specified.

Face-to-face is a constant 175 mm across every size from 15NB to 150NB, and the catalogue notes that custom face-to-face length adjustments are possible at site, with custom lengths up to 1500 mm available.

Note that this model uses a 16 mm hole up to 100NB, unlike the rest of the range which steps to 19 mm at 50NB — check the drilling against your mating flange.

Features

Built into every unit.

  • Suitable for low pressure applications
  • Cost effective compared to bar-stock sight flow indicators
  • Custom face to face length adjustments possible at site
  • Constant 175 mm face to face from 15NB to 150NB
  • Custom face to face lengths up to 1500 mm available

Benefits

Why it earns its place in the line.

  • Lowest-cost stainless tubular option
  • Site-adjustable face to face length
  • 360° visibility over the whole length — sees what a two-window unit misses
  • Glass tube and gaskets replaceable on site without cutting the pipework
  • Short face to face across the size range makes retrofit straightforward

FAQ

Questions we are asked about this item.

This model uses a 16 mm hole up to 100NB, where the rest of the range steps to 19 mm at 50NB. Check the drilling against your mating flange before ordering.

The catalogue describes it as suitable for low pressure applications without publishing a figure. Send your design pressure and we will confirm whether this model or an allen key version is appropriate.

Yes — the catalogue notes that custom face-to-face length adjustments are possible at site.
