Our Wide Angle Optics Illuminate Boiler Water Level
At Any Angle, Any Distance
Installed worldwide since 1962, Simpliport® Boiler Water Level Glass Gages provide reliable direct-reading, bi-color indication up to 3000 PSI (206 Bar). Continuous advancements to the Simpliport design have made them easier to install, maintain, and view.
Wherever you stand within 180° of the Simpliport Wide Angle Hood, you can clearly see the bright red or green indication of steam and water levels. This feature significantly reduces your exposure time to the boiler environment while maintaining a crystal-clear view of a direct reading gauge, as required by ASME.
The Simpliport 180 System consists of a stainless-steel gauge body, an LED illuminator assembly, and a wide-angle optic viewing hood assembly. There are no service parts associated with the viewing hood assembly.
Check out our Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage Glasses & LED Illumination and see why it's the best bi-colored boiler gauge in the industry.
