Water gauge placement in a Briggs boiler
Water gauge placement in a Briggs boiler
Other than placing the bottom fitting of the water gauge above the crown sheet, are there any considerations about how to plumb a water gauge into a Briggs type boiler? I've heard water gauges have accuracy problems due to boiling on the crown sheet.

I had a Briggs boiler on my 40-year-old mogul until three tubes failed during the annual hydrotest.
The bottom of the glass was piped to a tap on the bottom of the barrel in front of where would on a water-leg boiler be the throat-sheet.
The top of the glass was piped to a fitting in the top of the barrel near what would be the backhead on a water-leg boiler, and forward of the manifold fitting.
The bottom of the glass itself was located 1/2 inch above the top of the crownsheet.
I did not experience any problems reading the water level.
