Inline Cross Sight

A special section just for steam engines and boilers, as without these you may as well fit a sail.

Inline Cross Sight

Post by cyberbadger » Thu Oct 12, 2017 8:56 pm

Two sights with 1" Window and a cross.

Rated for upto 500 degree water with thick glass window fused to a metal body.

Also useful as a condenser or anchor. :-P

I wanted to be able to watch, of course I could be inducing a small amount of turbulence but it should be interesting.

That's an interesting piece where did you find That?

We use a paddle-type flow indicator for our feed water on the "Persistance" and it works quite well.
