Abstract
A sight gauge assembly for an urn sight gauge includes an elongated extruded sight gauge shield. The shield has a longitudinal axis and a generally U-shaped cross section defining the shield to have a sight gauge receiving recess extending along its entire length. The recess is defined by an arcuate inner surface terminated on opposite ends by first and second edges, respectively, so that an open sight gauge viewing region is provided between the edges. A tubular sight gauge is placed in the recess of the extruded sight gauge shield, and the arcuate inner surface of the recess conforms to a portion of a curved outer surface of the tubular sight gauge. An end cap is fixedly secured to a first end of the sight gauge shield and the assembly includes means for operatively connecting it to an associated faucet. The extruded shield includes collars positioned around first and second ends thereof to limit radially expansion of the member when an end cap is secured to the first end and when a nipple is secured to the second end.
