Broke my sight glass..... oh no

[milowebailey]

So the Achille was leaking where the sight glass tubes go into the boiler.  So I took it apart this morning and found the size o-rings I needed.  Decided to put it back together for the weekend.. (just have to add water more often).... and when I was tightening the sight glass nuts...... the sight glass tube snapped..... arrrgggg.

Now I have to find one... I hope it's not an odd size and an "off the shelf" sight glass will work.

I hope this isn't the last drink out of the Achille...

Just to get it functioning, couldn't you somehow bypass that glass?

Well done Juker!

You've saved Milo's Achille.

Repair guys usually have them including the fittings put together already for easy install.  You may be able to buy one you can just attach to the pipes.
