I was excited to replace the SS piece with the clear poly site glass. It was an easy task install. I added water into the kettle to check for leaks and there were none. Upon installing the spare arm to the cam lock I noticed the cam lock was tight and difficult to lock in the sparge arm. While fighting to lock it in I broke the poly glass tube cleanly where the tube is attached to the kettle with a clamp. It seems that the tube is vulnerable to breaking in this area since there ic nothing to brace the tube where it fits into the cam lock piece. I was able make a brace with a piece of tin sheet and replaced with a new poly tube. It's been working very well. I like it a lot.

Fit great look great and functions well.

Of course it's more fragile than stainless steel but the ability to see the liquid level (as well as liquid flow during pumping) is a huge improvement to the Brewzilla. Just handle the tube once installed gently. Mine broke once about 3/4" from the top end but the break was clean and I just reinstalled the top fitting for the win. Bought two extras since they were at a reduced price.

When you have the mash pipe elevated on the kettle it is impossible to see the water level in the kettle. Using the sight glass makes it possible to determine the water level. I only gave it four stars as it does not come with pre-marked gallon levels. I added after install with a Sharpie.

This really helps when trying top determine what amount of wort you have and how much to add for the sparge. I marked mine so that I can get the gallons in the Brewzilla. Would highly recommend this.

So far so good I am curious how this will hold up over time. Also there are no volume markers on the sight glass so the first thing I did was mark off volume markets with a paint pen.

Nice addition to the Brewzilla. Much easier to check kettle.

I haven’t brewed with the yet but excited too. Should help with taking out some of the guess work.

Works good as an upgrade for Mash and Boil.

No leaking. Used a healthy amount of plumbers tape on the threads. Installing the glass’ protective plastic under the clamps which cannot be removed easily is a real design flaw. You either won’t get all of the plastic off or you will have to chuck the clamps and put on new ones.

Allows you to see the wort while using the pump

The sight glass came loose (easily turns in place on the barbs) and leaks at a high rate. I guess I will need to do my own clamping; it would just be easier to not have this pre-clamped so I wouldn't need to remove the clamps original. Even the plastic protection for the glass comes stuck within the clamps.

The one I received leaked. Pulled the existing clamps off and replaced with work clamps.

I have to mark the gallons on it yet. should make it easier to see amount of wort for sparging
