ELESA+GANTER 114277-NP HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-STL Oil Level Indicator
The ELESA+GANTER 114277-NP oil level indicator, identified by the full code HCK.176-SST-M12-NBR-PC-NP-STL, is a column type level indicator developed for monitoring fluid level in industrial oil reservoirs. It combines mechanical visibility with a temperature probe configuration, making it useful for hydraulic systems where both level observation and thermal awareness matter.
Understanding the Product Code
The HCK.176 designation indicates a column level indicator with a 176 mm mounting hole centre distance. This size is often selected for medium industrial reservoirs where a practical viewing length is required without making the assembly too large. The M12 thread supports standard installation on compatible tank walls and machine structures.
The SST part of the code refers to stainless steel fastening elements. In industrial environments, this detail matters because fasteners are exposed to oil mist, humidity, cleaning operations and mechanical vibration. Stainless steel hardware supports better durability than basic plated alternatives in demanding applications.
NP Version: Without Front Protection
The NP section means this version is supplied without transparent front protection. This can be preferred where the installation area is already protected, where space is limited, or where direct access to the level tube is needed for inspection and maintenance. The PC tube still provides clear visual level indication, but the front protective cover is not included.
STL Temperature Probe Advantage
The STL configuration adds a temperature probe function. For oil-based systems, temperature is a critical operating parameter. A rising oil temperature may point to insufficient cooling, high friction, pump inefficiency or overloaded working cycles. By selecting a level indicator with temperature probe capability, maintenance teams can create a more informed inspection point on the reservoir.

Elesa+Ganter 114277-NP FAQ
What is the product type of ELESA+GANTER 114277-NP?
It is a column type oil level indicator with a temperature probe configuration, designed for industrial reservoir monitoring.
What does NP mean in this product code?
NP means the model is supplied without transparent front protection. This makes it suitable for protected installation areas or applications where the protective cover is not required.
Does this model use stainless steel hardware?
Yes. The SST designation indicates stainless steel screws, nuts and washers, supporting long-term mechanical reliability.
Why is the PC tube important?
The PC tube provides the transparent viewing column used to observe the fluid level. It is intended for oil level visibility in compatible applications.
When should this model be selected?
It is suitable when a 176 mm M12 oil level indicator is needed with stainless hardware, NBR sealing, no front protection and temperature probe capability.
