Oil Level Gauge – Compact Brass & Heat-Resistant Glass Assembly

The John Moncrieff Ltd Oil Level Gauge is a simple yet robust brass and heat-proof glass tubular level gauge providing continuous level indication, primarily for oil tanks and small reservoirs. Designed for easy installation and long-term clarity, it’s the reliable choice for everyday industrial service.

As standard, the gauge is fitted from the base, though a double-banjo connection top and bottom is available for greater flexibility. For alternative fittings, refer to the data sheet below — or contact us to prepare a custom adaptor. The unit operates on an open circuit and features a brass guard protecting the sight glass from accidental impact while maintaining a clear visual.

Perfect for small tanks where a quick, constant visual on oil level is essential. For cleaning, simply remove the top cap — the tubes can be withdrawn easily, and replacement glass tubes are available on request.

Looking for a compact alternative? See our Mini Gauge for similar low-volume applications.
