USA Lab Tri-Clamp Short Sight Glass - 304SS & Borosilicate | Various Sizes

Our USA Lab Tri-Clamp Short Sight Glass is built from 304 stainless steel with a durable borosilicate glass window, giving you a clear view into your sanitary process line without adding bulk or compromising pressure integrity.

These compact inline sight glasses mount directly between standard tri-clamp fittings to monitor flow, clarity, and foaming in real time. The metal body fully surrounds and supports the glass, improving mechanical strength and helping the assembly handle demanding pressure and temperature conditions.

Available in multiple models from 1.5" to 12" tri-clamp sizes, USA Lab sight glasses are ideal for botanical extraction, ethanol recovery, distillation systems, breweries, food and beverage lines, and general laboratory or industrial fluid handling.

All USA Lab sight glasses are shipped clean and ready to install. Always verify gasket compatibility and re-torque clamps after initial heat-up and cool-down to maintain a safe seal.
For help choosing the correct tri-clamp size, pressure rating, or installation location, contact the USA Lab team for application support.
