Sight glass (Low pressure)

Types SG, SGI, SGN, SGR, SGRI and SGRN

SG is sight glasses for low pressure application

(Max Working Pressure 35 bar / 500 psig).

SG is available with flare, solder and socket

connections, and with and without moisture
indicators.

SGI / SGN and SGRI / SGRN are equipped

with sensitive indicators that reflects a color,
which depends on the moisture content in the
refrigerant.

SG and SGR, without moisture indicator, are

mainly used to indicate the condition of the
refrigerant in the liquid line or the flow in the oil
return line from the oil separator.

Features Type SG / SGR (without indicator) Type SGN / SGRN (with N type indicator)
• Indicates lack of subcooling • For refrigerants: R22, R134a, R404A, R407C,
• Indicates refrigerant deficiency R507, R407A, R407F, R448A, R449A, R450A,
• Indicates liquid level in receiver R452A, R513A
• Indicates oil level in compressor • Indicates too high water content in the
• Solder / solder connection or socket type refrigeration system
• Indicates lack of subcooling
• Indicates refrigerant deficiency
Type SGI / SGRI (with I type indicator) • Flare / flare, solder / solder connection or
• For refrigerants with mineral oil, e.g. R22 socket type
• Indicates too high water content in the
refrigeration system
• Indicates lack of subcooling
• Indicates refrigerant deficiency
• Flare / flare, solder / solder connection or

REACH requirements Note:

All Danfoss products fulfill the requirements in REACH.
One of the obligations in REACH is to inform customers about presence of Candidate list substances if
any, we hereby inform you about one substance on the candidate list:
A moisture indicator in a sight glass contains a paper which is impregnated with Cobalt Dichloride
(CAS no: 7646-79-9) in a concentration above 0.1% w/w. If the valve has been damaged or dismantled:
- Avoid skin contact with the paper
- Do not inhale the dust from the paper
- The paper must be disposed as hazardous waste
