gages of longer visibility can be supplied. In
all lengths, gage ports are tightly spaced for
maximum reading accuracy.

Low Maintenance Simpliport’s low

maintenance factor is demonstrated by
the ease of replacing individual gage
glasses. Nuts are retightened with a
torque wrench. (Figure 1)
Stainless steel body and durable hoods,
plus other quality materials throughout,
also add to low maintenance and product

To assure fully accurate readings, Simpliport
gages are to be viewed “head-on” and from
