PUSH BUTTON SIGHT GAUGE
The most popular push button sight gauge ever produced for the visual inspection of a tank’s contents.
Produced to BS799 and featuring a push-to-read button that isolates flow into the tube when released, these gauges are not only popular for use with oil tanks, but also for use with rainwater tanks, and other products that are not chemically aggressive to the gauges component materials (not WRAS approved for use with drinking water).
Complete with Standoff Clip for attaching to the top of the tank
The supporting shield on 4ft 6in & 5ft models are UPVC and on 6ft+ models are Aluminium
Made by us in the UK
Tip: Sight Gauges should not be fitted to bunded tanks; however, they may be used on any single skinned tank or in any area that is protected by a bund.
Tip: Always fit a gate valve to isolate the flow between the tank and the gauge in case you ever have to remove this for maintenance, etc.
WHAT IS A SIGHT GAUGE?
A sight gauge is a small tube that is connected at the bottom of the tank inline with the feed pipe. The tube runs up the side of the tank and is clear, usually with a float inside. The bottom of the gauge will normally have a “pull to read” button or a push button. When this is operated the valve opens and allows fuel to travel up the tube. Due to the gravitational effect, the fuel in the tube will level out at the same level of the fuel inside the tank.

Seems first class, but rather expensive

Straight swap, works as it should.

Well made, effective piece of kit. Simple design and works really well. Push button easy to use. No issues plumbing it in using brass fittings. I’m using mine to monitor the level of rainwater harvested in 4 water butts which are linked in series with copper tube and serve a greenhouse auto irrigation system. A much better solution compared to other water level monitoring devices involving floats which I’ve previously used. No regrets buying it. Buying one again though I’d ensure I order a Sight Gauge Ball too, which is an optional extra small aluminium, hollow green ball that you can drop into the sight tube and it floats on Kerosene and Diesel, brightly coloured to aid visual indication of the level through the clear PVC tube. Priced at an additional £2.50 + VAT, one doesn’t come with the Sight Gauge but probably ought to!

Exactly as described and arrived on time.
I needed to purchase locally a 1/2 inch BSP male blanking plug for the OUTLET connection
