IMPORTANT:

Do not use  PTFE tape or hardening type

thread sealant. Use of pipe dope or hi-temp boiler grease
is recommended.

Probes and Electrical Connections

• Each probe is made up of an electrode and a probe rod. Each 

probe rod must be cut to an appropriate point of operation.

A 9" rod will be positioned at the low water cut-off level.

Cut other rods for the pump operating probes to the desired 
length.

• After cutting, secure the probe rod to the electrode and lock

the thread using the jamnut in the electrode sleeve. Insert the 
probe into the chamber and tighten by hand. Then torque to 

22-25 ft/lbs (30-34 N/m).

• Refer to and follow all local codes and standards.

• Secure the electrical enclosure to the chamber with gasket 

between. Note that the electrical connection opening can be 
orientated in any of 4 positions. Tighten screws to 30 - 35 in/lbs
(3.4-4.0 N/m).

• Probe wire and conduit connections should be made fo l l ow i n g

accepted electrical practices.

• Install electrical cover enclosure after making all connections

and after control has been tested for proper operation.
Tighten screws to 30 - 35 in/lbs (3.4-4.0 N/m).

Wire must be 18 AWG stranded with glass braided silicone jacket
(UL 3071) suitable for high temperature (200˚C) service.

NOTE

(Attach to an electrical enclosure / mounting screw)
