CONVERT a sight gauge fitting kit

CONVERT A SIGHT GAUGE KIT -  Converts or adds a sight gauge tube to 1/2" sight gauge using an existing 90 or Tee fitting on a kettle or keg.

1/2"  NPT pipe thread connections. . Stainless fittings. Stainless eye bolt to stabilize at top of the kettle.   17" Long  1/2" outer diameter high temp poloycarbonate sight tube.

MALE NPT THREADS REQUIRE WHITE OR YELLOW PTFE (TEFLON) PLUMBERS TAPE BEFORE ASSEMBLY.   YOU WILL GALL (BOND) THE THREADS WITHOUT IT.

CARE AND USE OF YOUR POLYCARBONATE TUBE: 

PROTECT YOUR TUBING and sight gauge from direct flame exaust.  Tubing will soften / melt if flame wash heats it past 250 F.

A HEAT SHIELD (a piece of flat metal under the edge of your kettle) should be used to keep the flames off the sight gauge, valves and thermometers.

To remove  debris, a short soak in powdered brewery wash or oxyclean and a gentle scrub with a nylon tube brush.

DO NOT SOAK FOR LONGER THAN 30 minutes to prevent cracking of your tube
