That would depend on why you need to know where the water level is, "what" it is attached to and how you are going to connect it to the "what" it is attached to

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

Either one will work. It's just a hunk of cast iron. The most important thing if using it on a boiler or any fuel or electrically vessel is to make sure it is mounted at the right height to maintain the water at a safe level.0

And the proposed use of these is to be what? Some applications require try cocks, some do not; some require sight glass tubes, some require sight windows...Br. Jamie, osb

Could you explain, why you want to manufacture water columns. What is the end result. Will this be mounted on a piece of equipment and if so what is it's function? If you are looking for a "quick fix", all you need is a piece of pipe, fitted with an upper and lower T to mount the 2 sight glass valves. You can cut the sight tube to the length you need. Last item, what is the pressure that column will operate at?0
