Ldi Industries G105-2 Vented Oil Level Indicator

Product Description

The LDI INDUSTRIES G105-2 is a vented oil-level indicator and gauge designed for monitoring fluid levels in industrial gearboxes, sumps, and lubrication reservoirs. The unit features a short elbow configuration with a 2.75-inch sight length and a 0.25-inch thread size for straightforward installation into standard threaded ports. A Buna-N seal provides reliable resistance to petroleum-based oils and common lubricants. The length to the center of the base measures 3.875 inches, making it well-suited for confined mounting locations. Maintenance technicians and millwrights install this gauge to enable quick visual confirmation of proper oil levels without removing covers or drain plugs.

The G105-2 is intended for use on stationary industrial equipment where a compact, low-profile oil-level indicator is required. Typical applications include gearboxes, pump housings, compressor crankcases, and hydraulic reservoir end plates. The short elbow body style allows fitment in areas with limited clearance around the port. The vented design equalizes internal pressure during operation, supporting accurate level readings. This indicator is appropriate for both original equipment installation and field replacement on production and facility maintenance equipment.

Key Features

• Short elbow gauge body provides a low-profile fit in tight mounting areas
• 2.75-inch sight length for clear oil level visibility
• 0.25-inch thread size for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports
• Buna-N seal resists petroleum-based oils and general-purpose lubricants
• Vented construction equalizes pressure for accurate fluid level indication
• 3.875-inch length to center of base supports precise positioning at the reservoir

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation oil-level indicator for industrial gearboxes, pump housings, and lubrication reservoirs equipped with a 0.25-inch threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a maintenance technician or millwright. Before installing or removing the indicator, shut down the equipment, relieve any system pressure, and drain or isolate the reservoir to prevent oil spillage. Apply an appropriate thread sealant compatible with petroleum lubricants to the threaded fitting before installation. Do not overtighten, as this may crack the sight body or damage the Buna-N seal.
