The Environmental Protection
Gauge (EPG) is easy to install. It installs just like
tubular glass and is designed to replace your existing
tubular glass. It will eliminate glass breakage and
stop costly spills. The metal end connection of the
gauge inserts into the valve stuffing box thus eliminating
two common points for glass breakage.
- Overtightening of
the glass packing
- Breakage of glass
at the packing nuts from impact to the gauge
The clear polycarbonate
shield allows 360° visibility. Unlike expanded metal
protection, the fluid level is not obstructed and the
EPG is priced so that it is more economical than expanded
metal.

Environmental
Protection Gauge (EPG) Installation
-
Ensure that gauge
glass valve sight tube connections are lined up as close as
possible.
-
Insert upper nozzle
of level gauge assembly into stuffing box of upper gauge glass
valve as far as it will go and then swing lower end of level
gauge assembly over until lower nozzle is aligned with center
of lower gauge glass valve stuffing box.
-
Insert lower nozzle
of level gauge assembly into lower gauge glass valve stuffing
box until end of nozzle rests on glass stop inside valve.
-
Thread lower gauge
glass valve packing nut onto valve and tighten.
-
Hold level gauge
glass valve assembly firmly in place and thread upper gauge
glass valve packing nut onto valve and tighten.
IMPORTANT:
Holding gauge assembly firmly in place while tightening valve
packing nuts is recommended to prevent pulling nozzle connections
on each end of level gauge off of sight tube.
