Safety Information

Warning

  1. Condensate in certain applications may dissolve the window glass, especially when water contains corrosive alkaline or acidic substances, regular inspection of window glass condition is required
  2. If window glass thinning is observed, replace immediately to prevent glass breakage
  3. Safety glasses must be worn to protect eyes when observing media through the window
  4. Protective measures should be taken to ensure broken glass does not cause injury to personnel and equipment in case of sight glass failure

Installation Instructions
