Top Mount Press Fit Acetyl Head for Gasoline, Diesel, Bio-Diesel, Hydraulic & Lubricating Oil Tanks
Application
The 8681 Junior Top Mount Model “Press Fit” Spiral Gauge is designed for use in measuring liquid levels in gasoline, diesel fuel, bio-diesel, hydraulic and lubricating oils where space restrictions prevent the use of a swing-arm style mechanical gauge. It is ideal for medium duty construction & agriculture, lawn & garden, and recreational vehicle applications.
General Information & Features
• Field Replaceable Snap-On Fractional Dial
• Solid Construction Head, No-Leakage Path to Dial
The “Press Fit” mounting of the 8681 Spiral Gauge allows a 360 degree orientation of the dial for ease in fuel level monitoring. The “Press Fit” mounting contributes to the gauges adaptability for use in restricted areas.
The 8681 “Press Fit” Spiral Gauge is designed for top mounting utilizing a Nitrile rubber seal (included with the gauge), an easy to read fractional dial, and is available in lengths from 6 to 20 inches.
