Jerguson Gauges for Fisher

Displacer Cages
Jerguson gauges (see figure 1) are used on the Jerguson gauge valves are equipped with stainless
displacer cages of liquid level sensors to provide a steel ball checks, located upstream from the seats to
visual indication of liquid level interface. Jerguson immediately shut off the flow in case of gauge glass
offers two styles of flat-glass gauges (reflex and breakage.
transparent) and a tubular glass gauge. The reflex
gauge gives a clean line of separation, with the liquid Refer to tables 1 through 3 for specific information

equipped with four guard rods and holders.
