In my phenolic resin experience, our concern on glass (sight glasses) was mainly due to the presence of caustic soda (the catalyst). Caustic attacks the glass chemically.

Yeah..caustic corrode glass materials but is phenol also shows corrosive behaviour towards glass..??

Your glass probably has a pH range spec. I don’t recall a phenol specific issue. I’d go by the usable pH range.
