68% of Pump Bearing Failures are Caused by Lubrication Related Issues

Oil level can be easily monitored using an oil sight glass, but standard flat sight glasses become stained over time making it difficult to accurately check the oil level. A 3-D sight glass that extends out, away from the machinery should be used. This window allows the oil level to be observed from any angle.
