Sight Gauge With Guard & Ball Valve Combo

Pros: great for the sight guage featureCons: The connection between the sight guage and the tee leaksIf you use a pump (my chugger is about 3ft below the valve) on the output of this valve, it tends to suck from the sight guage (which is vented on top, because it needs to be for it to work at all), which sucks air into the pump and disrupts the flow.I'd recommend placing the valve on a different kettle connection point and just putting a thermowell/thermometer into this unit. If you can get the guage threads to stop leaking.

Looks great, excellent customer service. My glass tube came chipped and was replaced next day.
