The Sight Glass

Detect Lubricant Problems Fast

Luneta's new Sight Glass has all the clarity and durability you need, with none of the leaks, cracks or squinting you may be used to with those old-style oil sight glasses. You'll never have to use fragile, dark, hard-to-read oil sight glasses again!

Overview

Durable

  • One-piece, high-impact Tritan™ construction
  • Outdoor Compatible: UV-resistant & withstands long-term sun exposure.
  • Resistant to chemical wear and buildup
  • Integrated threads mean no leaking

Convenient

  • The Sight Glass extends from the machine, providing a clear view of oil
  • Molded-in hex nut means a quick, simple installation
  • Integrated eyelet for attaching lubricant ID tags or other pertinent information speeds up visual inspection and prevents confusion

Precise

  • Tritan™ construction means this oil sight glass is ultra-thin & super-clear with no distortion/discoloration
  • Etched, painted cross-hairs won't fade, rub off or distort the perceived oil level
  • Flat front surface allows for use of light or lasers to check for particulate – with no light deflection

Installation

Install in 5 easy steps

  • Apply thread sealer to the threads before installation.

  • Use a crescent wrench or 1-5/16" socket wrench to tighten until the hex nut contacts the port face (or if applicable, until the O-ring is compressed).
