Danfoss DANFOSS-014L0171 Sight Glass 1/4 Inch Flare

Product Description

The Danfoss DANFOSS-014L0171 is a 1/4 inch flare sight glass designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC systems. Sight glasses allow technicians to visually inspect refrigerant flow and moisture condition in a refrigerant line, providing a quick indication of system charge level and the presence of contaminants. This unit is identified by the SGP 6 N designation, indicating its series and port configuration. It is installed by licensed HVAC and refrigeration technicians as part of routine system service, new equipment installation, or line set replacement work.

The DANFOSS-014L0171 is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration systems where a 1/4 inch flare connection is specified. Sight glasses of this type are commonly installed in the liquid line between the condenser and metering device, giving the technician a real-time view of refrigerant state during system operation. This part is appropriate for systems requiring a compact, flare-type sight glass with moisture indicator capability consistent with the SGP 6 N product series.
