Application
Controlling the oil level in hydraulic oil or lubricant reservoirs
Construction and function
ARGO-HYTOS oil level dipsticks are robust semicircular metal rods with an O-ring seal.
A mounting bolt with a suitable hole is supplied with each dipstick. Dipsticks are available in various lengths, with various markings, and with various mounting bolts (see selection chart).
Special features
- The robust material withstands even the most severe operating conditions
- The integral O-ring provides a 100% tight seal
- A suitable dipstick mounting bolt can also replace one of the mounting bolts of an in-tank return or suction filter
Mounting
The bolt supplied with the oil level dipstick is installed either in a separate threaded hole or in an already existing mounting hole for an in-tank filter. This eliminates the need of an extra mounting hole. If used as a filter mounting bolt, care should be taken to provide a proper seal between the tank, the filter and the mounting bolt.
