incase if boiler gauge glass breaks...this steel ball fits on the tube and it prevents of leakage of water.
Steel ball is used in boiler gauge glass to prevent overflow of water when ever gauge glass is broken..
An alarm gauge is a device attached to a steam boiler to indicate excessive steam pressure or insufficient water.
How to do test water gauge glass of boiler
Steam would have a gauge 0-15 Hot water Tri indicator Temperature /pressure /altitude

Not for the faint of heart! For a Combi/Evaporation boiler: Switch off the boiler. Take a reading of the boiler water pressure gauge. Shut off the radiator's thermostat valve(if fitted)/supply valve and return valves, connect a hose to the drain and put the other end into a large container below the level of the bottom of the radiator. Open the draincock first and then the air bleed valve and let the radiator drain. Close the draincock. When refilling the radiator put the anti-corrosion treatment in first then open the thermostat valve and return valve as wide as possible. when the air is expelled, close the air bleed screw. Using the fill loop restore boiler pressure. Put all thermostat valves(if fitted) to max and fire up the boiler. After the boiler has run for 10 minutes, switch off, or so go to the highest radiator and bleed out the air. WARNING: the water/steam will be very hot and likely to spit. Use a cloth as a barrier and to mop up any spills. Recheck the boiler pressure and top up as necessary.
2 times the pressure at which the safety valve is set.

Boiler mountings are different fittings and devices which are necessary for the operation and safety of a boiler .e.g. pressure gauge, safety valves , steam stop valve etc Normally these device are mounted over boiler shell .Boiler Accessories are auxilary plants or parts required for steam boilers for their proper operation and to increase efficiency of the boiler .e.g.feed pumps, super heater , economiser etc
The word gauge has one syllable. This means the whole word is the syllable and so there aren't any syllable breaks.
