Specifying Ball Checks on Water
Gage Valves
• Ball Check Valves (Reference: “Automatic Shutoff
Valves” in the Appendix of the ASME Boiler Code)
• A-18 in the Appendix of Section 1 defines the
design requirements for this User OPTION.
• Ball Checks are not mandatory.
• Consider the application, before specifying
Water Gage Valves with the Ball Check
feature. We suggest them for limited
applications.

Water Gage Glass Guidelines
• Verify compliance with ASME Section I
requirements
• Confirm serviceable condition of gage glass
• Consider viewing orientation of the gage for
operator convenience
• Consider gage design alternatives based on:
– Viewing distance required
– Atmosphere (indoor/outdoor/hazardous)
– Design pressure
– Water quality
– Illumination requirements
– Potential for mirrors to save stair climbing
Simpliport Bi-Color
Water Gage Glasses
• Operate on the principle of light refraction
– Light refracts through water different than steam
– Displays “Green” to indicate the presence of water
and “Red” for steam.
– Gage must be outfitted with an illuminator
in order to be Code Compliant
Simpliport Bi-Color Gages
Steam shows RED.
Water shows GREEN.

Advantages of Simpliport
Design
• Single Nut design to retain glass = less
fasteners than others = less maintenance
time
• Welded body design permits repairs to
individual body sections for a fraction of
the cost of a replacement gage.
• Lighter weight design compared to others.
• Replacement parts remain available for
previous models, and now include
the heavier mica shields for longer life

and Instructions
See our Maintenance Video at
www.clark-reliance.com/4000video
Ref: Instruction manual #R500.E241-A for P4000/P4100
Series Gages (mfr: 2008 to present) using PW-87B
modules
For older model Simpliport Gages P3000/P3100 (mfr. from
1962 thru 2007) using PW-24BR modules, see video at
www.clark-reliance.com/3000video and instruction manual 539I
General Comments for all models:
• Examine gasket surface, before installing new glass modules
• Use Glass Bead process to clean packing nut threads
• Always clean, inspect, and lubricate spring washers & threads in
packing nuts, prior to assembly.
Simpliport Water Gages
• Suggest a Maintenance log for users
to record ports that have been
serviced. Replace remaining ports,
after 30% have been replaced.
• Red crescent shape in green area
below level (meniscus line) generally
indicate internal contamination.
• Illuminator and Hood misalignment
may affect image on older models
without LED Illumination.
