Honeywell can assist with selecting suitable seal material for the media based on the seal manufacturer’s recommendation. The customer
should test the compatibility with the media to ensure that it is correct for the application.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Ensure torque specifications are determined for the specific application. Values provided are for reference only. (Mating
materials and thread sealants can result in significantly different torque values from one application to the next.)
• When using mating parts made of stainless steel, use a thread sealant with anti-seize properties to prevent thread galling.
Ensure the sealant is rated for the application.
• Use appropriate tools (such as an open ended wrench or deep well socket) to install transducers.
• Always hand-start transducers into the hole to prevent cross threading and damage.
• Ensure that torque is not applied to the electrical connector.
• Ensure that the proper mating electrical connector with a seal is used to connect the transducer. Improper or damaged seals
can compromise ingress protection leading to short circuits.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE TO TUBE PORT
Ensure that the temperature of the brass port and plastic connector is maintained below 125 °C during flame brazing. Exposure
to temperatures higher than 125 °C can cause permanent product damage and can compromise ingress protection leading to
short circuits.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
