Elesa+Ganter 11355 HCX.127-BW-SST-M12 Hot Water Level Indicator

Elesa+Ganter 11355 HCX.127-BW-SST-M12 hot water level indicator is part of the HCX-BW-SST family, developed for circuits working with very hot water. Its special transparent technopolymer helps prevent the milky effect that can appear on standard transparent surfaces in hot water applications. This makes the product relevant for industrial water systems, thermal circuits, cooling units, and equipment where visibility must remain dependable.

Technical Design

The HCX.127-BW-SST-M12 uses a 127 mm centre distance and M12 connection. The HCX.127-M12 dimensional family lists a 12.5 mm mounting hole diameter, 12 Nm tightening torque, and 31 mm width. The SST configuration includes AISI 303 stainless steel screws and AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers, while FKM type O-ring packing supports sealing performance.

Built for Hot Water Applications

Unlike general oil level indicators, the BW-SST execution is specifically intended for hot water environments. The special technopolymer allows use in circuits working with very hot water while helping preserve transparency. This matters because unclear sight glasses can slow inspection and increase the risk of incorrect level reading.

Performance and Inspection Benefits

The HCX-BW-SST range features ultrasound welding for sealing, maximum fluid level visibility even from side positions, and a lens effect for better readability. Laboratory testing with CB68 mineral oil at 23°C for a limited period reports weld resistance up to 10 bar. For other fluids or different pressure and temperature conditions, suitability should be verified under real operating conditions.

Elesa+Ganter 11355 FAQ

What is Elesa+Ganter 11355 HCX.127-BW-SST-M12 designed for?

It is designed for visual level monitoring in hot water circuits and similar industrial systems where transparency and stable inspection are important.

What does BW-SST mean?

BW identifies the hot water execution, while SST refers to the stainless steel fastening configuration used in this product family.

Why is special technopolymer important?

In very hot water circuits, ordinary transparent materials may become cloudy. The special technopolymer helps maintain clearer visibility.

Can this model be used with oil?

It may be technically tested with mineral oil under laboratory conditions, but the BW-SST execution is primarily intended for hot water. Application suitability should be confirmed.

Does it require careful mounting?

Yes. Correct hole diameter, tightening torque, and seal contact surface are important for preventing leakage and maintaining accurate visual inspection.
