A foreman in Tulsa told me to always tap the gauge glass before reading it
He caught me checking a boiler sight glass wrong on my first week and said 'you gotta wake it up first, kid.' Anyone else have a weird little trick like that?

My old man was a boiler inspector. He said tapping the glass is actually a bad habit... it can weaken it over time and cause a blowout. You're just supposed to look at it.

Guess I've been weakening glass like a dummy for years then lol. I always gave mine a little tap-tap just to make sure it wasn't stuck. Now I'm just gonna stare at it real hard instead.
