Danfoss SGP 10 N Sight Glass | 3/8 in (10 mm) Flare Connection
Product Description:
The Danfoss SGP 10 N (014L0172) is an essential diagnostic component for maintenance and service professionals across the UAE. Featuring 3/8 in (10 mm) flare connections, it allows for a secure mechanical attachment that can be easily installed or replaced without the need for brazing—significantly reducing hot-work risks in Dubai’s commercial buildings. This sight glass provides a crystal-clear view of the liquid refrigerant to identify bubbles or flash gas, while the “N” type moisture indicator offers high-sensitivity color changes (Green for Dry, Yellow for Wet). This early warning system is crucial for preventing compressor damage caused by acid formation, especially under the high-load conditions of the UAE summer.
