Liquid Level Gauges
PL Series — Tubular Level Gauge
PLT threaded · PLF flanged · Protection support rods
For observing liquid level, fluid colour and interfaces in normally non-pressurised, non-dangerous fluid systems. Choose a threaded or flanged connection and configure the gauge for your application. Gauge valves are sold separately.
PLT / PLFTechnical data
Application and operating limits

Dimensions and mounting
For thread type, please use unions to install the level gauge on the tank.

Ordering information
Select PLT or PLF, then choose the connection and materials. Gauge valves are sold separately.
Ordering code follows the datasheet sequence. Code O denotes an optional flange connection; specify the required details with your quote request. Centre-to-centre length is in millimetres.
Specifications are general selection guidance. Confirm materials, connection standards, operating temperature and pressure with Sightflow before placing an order.
