Elesa+Ganter 11101 HCFE.24-1 Oil Level Sight Glass

The Elesa+Ganter 11101 oil level sight glass, supplied under the code HCFE.24-1, is a compact visual inspection component for checking oil levels directly on tanks, gearboxes, hydraulic units and industrial machinery. It is a simple but important part of preventive maintenance because it allows operators to confirm fluid presence at a glance.

Technical Profile of HCFE.24-1

This model is listed with a G 1 thread size and belongs to the HCFE range of oil level sight glasses. The series is produced from technopolymer materials designed for industrial use, with tightening torque guidance provided to support correct sealing during installation. For code 11101, the technical table identifies the HCFE.24-1 configuration with G 1 connection and tightening guidance in the 8 to 10 Nm range.

Why Oil Level Sight Glasses Are Important

A sight glass is one of the easiest ways to detect low oil level before it becomes a mechanical failure. In rotating equipment, reducers and hydraulic systems, insufficient lubrication can lead to heat, wear, seal damage and expensive downtime. The Elesa+Ganter 11101 HCFE oil level sight glass gives maintenance teams a fast, tool-free visual reference.

Installation Considerations

During installation, the correct thread engagement and tightening torque are important. Excessive tightening can affect the component or sealing performance, while insufficient tightening may lead to leakage. The component should also be checked against the working fluid, operating temperature and any additives used in the system.
