Yes you can get HP gauge glass, and it is much thicker
Re: Is this at risk of freezing?
Re: Boiler plumbing questions
Typical residential water heaters are in the 30- 40,000 input btu/hr range. So not much horsepower from one of those. It could be enough to keep pipes from freezing, but not much heating on a cold day.
High output tanks run up around 75,000, commercial tanks 500.000 or more.
The only ways to know for sure would be a heat load number for the space, or trial and error.

Re: New Energy Kinetics Boiler: Was Kettling, Now its a Water Hammer Issue
@Steamhead is correct. 60° A is the proper nozzle with 130 psi pump pressure.
@CTYankee Wondering if you could dm me a wider shot of the install as we have some questions regarding the plate exchanger location, and that loop circ on the wall behind the boiler.
Its possible some scale has moved around the system if you have cast iron free standing radiators. I cant see a dirt mag in your pictures. Have the tech thats doing the flush call me in tech support and we can go over the problem.

Re: Where can I add a scoop and air vent
@hot_rod @EdTheHeaterMan Thank you both for the detailed information! I'm not going to be able to get the Discal and do the work for at least a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how it goes. Best!
