Sight Glass Overview [NM Series]
Stainless steel containers are not transparent, making it difficult to check the inside.
If you need to see the interior without opening the lid, our sight glasses are the perfect solution.
We offer NM and NMB series for different safety and cleaning needs.


Differences Between [NM] and [NMB]
MONOVATE’s sight glasses come in two main types: [NM] (Standard) and [NMB] (Integrated).
Both use a ferrule connection for tool-free attachment and removal (some products excluded), but differ as follows:
| NM (Standard) |
|
|---|---|
| NMB (Integrated) |
