Worldwide, Simpliporthas delivered outstanding performance independability, low maintenance and installationversatility.To meet specific requirements, Simpliportis offered in visibility lengths from 10-1/4”(260mm) to 71-5/8” (1819mm). Specialgages of longer visibility can be supplied. Inall lengths, gage ports are tightly spaced formaximum reading accuracy.Operating on reliable principles of lightrefraction, the Simpliport is a fundamentallyaccurate bi-color gage.Light does not refract through water on thesame line that light refracts through steam.Therefore, by calculated placement of a lightsource and gage glass, the Simpliport indicateswater levels by displaying green portsat water level and red ports for steam above.(Figure 4)Figure 3SIMPLIPORT ® IS SIMPLE TOREAD. STEAM SHOWS RED.WATER SHOWS GREEN.Low Maintenance Simpliport’s lowmaintenance factor is demonstrated bythe ease of replacing individual gageglasses. Nuts are retightened with atorque wrench. (Figure 1)Stainless steel body and durable hoods,plus other quality materials throughout,also add to low maintenance and productdurability.To assure fully accurate readings, Simpliportgages are to be viewed “head-on” and froma recommended minimum distance of threefeet. All Slmpliports must be equipped withan Illuminator and Viewing Hood to complywith ASME swection 1 Boiler Code RequirementsFigure 4NOTE: LED illuminators eliminate red andgreen color filters by using colored LED’s.GLASS DISC MODULES QUICKLYREPLACED Figure 1SIMPLIPORT ® LED ILLUMINATORAND VIEWING HOODPatent # US 7,047,806 B2Figure 2SIMPLIPORTDIRECT-TO-DRuMINSTALLATIONFigure 5

SECTION AB7.6CThe New 4000 Series Simpliport GageSIMPLIPORT ® LED ILLUMINATORAND VIEWING HOODfor Bi-Color Water Gage Glass• Eliminates Lamp Maintenance• Eliminates Glass Color Strips• Eliminates Lamp Heat• Retrofits ANY Simpliport ® GageEasily identified with “4000” permanently welded to thegage body. The new 4000 Series Simpliport Gage isengineered with a unique sealing gasket, which eliminatesthe Hot-Torque step required on past models.The result is a gage that is ready-to-use upon installation.(Figure 6)GAGE BODIES WITHSTAND CONTINUOUSSERVICE TO 3000 PSI STEAM PRESSUREQuality construction is a Simpliport mainstay. Gage bodiesare manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel. In addition,high quality materials throughout all gage components impartproduct integrity to even its smallest parts. The result is a premiumgage, extremely strong yet lightweight. For example, thesix-port Model P3006 with 12-5/8” (321 mm) visibility weighsonly 16 lbs.New design features include the “all around” spring supportfor Glass Disc Modules. This provides positive and uniformloading to prolong the life of gage glass and the highest quality(V1) 30 mil mica shields. Service life may vary based uponactual operating conditions and water quality.For efficient, troublefree maintenance, Simpliport gages arefurnished with two spare Glass Disc Modules, a 1-7/8” socket,a 3/4”-1/2” drive adaptor, high temperature thread lube, andmodule extractor pliers.LED ILLUMINATOR SPECIFICATIONSPower Supply:PowerConsumptionEst.

(Figure 7)The illuminator and viewing hood have a modern appearanceand are attached to the gage with spring-loaded fasteners,which enable them to pivot in either direction, withoutcomplete removal, in order to conduct maintenance on theSimpliport water gage glass. No tools are required to pivot theilluminator or hood. Simply, depress the two fastener pins onthe side of the gage that you desire to access.
