What is the number of gauge cocks on a boiler with two water glasses on the same horizontal line?

The correct answer is: 2

A boiler with two water glasses installed on the same horizontal line will typically have two gauge cocks. Each water glass requires its own gauge cock to allow for proper water level indication. The gauge cocks are essential for isolating the water glasses for maintenance or inspection without draining the entire system. In this configuration, each water glass will have an upper and lower gauge cock usually, but because they are on the same horizontal line, only one upper gauge cock for one glass and one lower gauge cock for the other glass are needed, leading to a total of two. This understanding is important in maintaining safe boiler operations, as being knowledgeable about the components and their functions allows for proper maintenance and troubleshooting when necessary.
