Elesa+Ganter 111382 HCZ.76-VT-M12 Level Indicator for Hydraulic Systems
The Elesa+Ganter 111382 HCZ.76-VT-M12 level indicator is a compact column-style fluid level indicator designed for clear visual monitoring in hydraulic reservoirs, oil tanks and industrial fluid systems. With its 76 mm centre distance, M12 connection and transparent technopolymer body, it provides a practical way to check oil or fluid level without opening the tank or interrupting operation.
Technical Structure and Material Design
This model belongs to the HCZ-VT series and uses a transparent polyamide-based technopolymer body. The material is selected for visibility, impact resistance and compatibility with many industrial oils and hydraulic fluids. The assembly includes SUPER-technopolymer screws, AISI 304 stainless steel nuts and washers, and NBR sealing elements. These details make the indicator suitable for environments where humidity, fluid exposure and routine cleaning may be part of daily operations.
The HCZ.76-VT-M12 version has a 76 mm mounting distance, M12 thread, 99 mm overall length, 40 mm visible reference distance and a maximum tightening torque of 6 Nm. Its lens effect improves fluid readability from different viewing angles, which is useful in compact machinery layouts where operators may not always stand directly in front of the tank.
Where This Level Indicator Is Commonly Used
The Elesa+Ganter 111382 HCZ.76-VT-M12 level indicator is often used in hydraulic power units, lubrication systems, compact industrial tanks, machine tools, processing equipment and mobile machinery. Because it is designed for level reading rather than flow control, it supports preventive maintenance by helping teams notice low oil levels, unusual consumption patterns or refill requirements before they become operational problems.
Performance Notes
The HCZ-VT series is intended for continuous operation up to 90°C with oil. Considering the SUPER-technopolymer screws, the maximum working pressure should not exceed 5 bar at 20°C or 2 bar at 90°C. For applications involving special fluids, higher pressure or unusual temperature conditions, the installation should be evaluated against the actual operating environment.

Elesa+Ganter 111382 FAQ
What is the Elesa+Ganter 111382 HCZ.76-VT-M12 level indicator used for?
It is used to visually monitor fluid level in hydraulic tanks, oil reservoirs and machinery systems. It helps maintenance teams check whether the operating fluid is within the required range without removing covers or stopping equipment unnecessarily.
Does this model include a thermometer?
No. The HCZ.76-VT-M12 is a level indicator without an integrated thermometer. If temperature reading is required together with level monitoring, a thermometer version from the HCZ/T series should be considered.
What makes the technopolymer screws useful?
The SUPER-technopolymer screws are lightweight, corrosion-resistant and designed to apply suitable compression to the sealing rings. This helps reduce unnecessary stress on the screw assembly while supporting reliable sealing on the reservoir wall.
Is it suitable for hydraulic oil tanks?
Yes, it is commonly used with hydraulic oil tanks and similar industrial fluid reservoirs. Compatibility should still be checked for the exact oil type, additives, pressure and temperature conditions in the application.
What is the main advantage of the lens effect?
The lens effect improves visibility of the fluid column, making the level easier to read even when the operator views the indicator from a side angle or in a tight machine installation.
