Elesa+Ganter 111036 HCK.254-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P Oil Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 111036 HCK.254-SST316-M12-FKM-GL-P oil level indicator is a high-specification HCK.254 column level indicator with AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, FKM sealing and a borosilicate glass level tube. It is intended for industrial applications where reliable visual level monitoring must be combined with stronger material resistance.

Elesa+Ganter 111036 SST316 Oil Level Indicator Technical Overview

This HCK.254 model has a 254 mm fixing hole centre distance, M12 thread, 291 mm total length and 198 mm visible level area. The SST316 hardware improves corrosion resistance compared with standard zinc-plated or basic stainless executions. The FKM O-ring supports higher continuous working temperature capability, while the GL glass tube is suitable for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions under correct operating conditions.

Why Choose the SST316 Version?

AISI 316 stainless steel is commonly selected where corrosion risk, washdown exposure or demanding operating environments are part of the specification. In hydraulic power units, process machinery, marine-adjacent equipment or more sensitive industrial installations, the 111036 version can provide a stronger long-term material choice than general-purpose variants.

Operational Benefits

Visual level indication remains one of the simplest ways to support machine reliability. Operators can quickly confirm whether fluid remains within the correct range, while maintenance teams can use level changes as an early signal for leaks, consumption changes or service requirements. The protected glass tube gives a clear reading while helping reduce direct exposure.

FAQ

What does SST316 mean in this product code?

SST316 indicates AISI 316 stainless steel fastening hardware.

How is 111036 different from 111035?

Both use FKM seals and GL glass tubes, but 111036 uses AISI 316 stainless steel hardware, while 111035 uses an SST execution with AISI 303/AISI 304 hardware.

Is this model suitable for demanding environments?

Yes, it is the stronger option among these listed models when corrosion resistance and higher-grade stainless hardware are priorities.

What fluids can the GL version support?

The GL borosilicate glass version is intended for oil, water and water-glycol based solutions, subject to operating condition checks.

What should engineers verify before selecting it?

They should check fluid compatibility, temperature, pressure, mounting dimensions, sealing requirements and exposure conditions before final selection.
