Bulkhead Installation
To achieve a watertight bulkhead installation of the IceProbe:
1. Drill a 1.25-inch diameter hole into your sump/prefilter/aquarium.
Note:
The hole can be easily drilled through a plastic or acrylic wall using a standard hole
saw available at most hardware stores. An experienced glass cutter should be consulted
for bulkhead installations in glass aquariums.
2. Remove the white nylon nut from the threaded probe.
3. Insert the probe through the hole with the clear silicon washer
on the outside (dry side) of the reservoir wall.
4. Tighten the nylon nut on the threaded probe.
While a watertight seal can often be achieved by
hand tightening the nut, we recommend using an adjustable wrench. However, be careful not
to over tighten the nut by applying excessive force.
The IceProbe can be oriented in any way. Provided that the probe is fully submerged in water and air can freely circulate around
the IceProbe’s fins and fan, it can be installed through a top, side, or bottom wall. Alternatively, a simple bracket or lid can be
used to suspend the IceProbe for top mounting.
