Forney ClearPort observation ports are designed for installation on HRSG ducts and other hot furnaces. Forney ClearPorts provide a clear, unobstructed view of the duct burner flames as well as pressure parts downstream. Forney ClearPorts includes a butterfly-style isolation plate to restrict heat conduction towards the glass. The glass pane is suitable for high temperatures to prevent any discoloration over service life. Butterfly-style isolation plate is easy to operate with a spring-loaded side handle. When released, the spring ensures the isolation plate returns to the closed position. A cooling air inlet port is provided for the user to connect cooling air at a specified pressure and flow rate. These view ports are available in 4”, 6”, and 8” sizes and are designed to be installed on a standard #150 ASME flange.
