Installation 

(continued)

 

Step Five 

  

 

FITTING SELECTION 

Check  the  part  number  to  determine  the  required  fitting  mount  size  and  thread  type.    LVU700  series  is 
commonly installed in tank adapters, flanges, brackets or standpipes.  

Note:

 Always include the gasket when 

installing the “G” threaded LVU700 series. 

 

1. 

Tank Adapter:

  Select a tank adapter fitting, such as the LVU800-2B tank adapter for 2” sensors or the 

LVU800-3B for 3” sensors.   

a. 

For best results, select a 3” tank adapter (LVU800-3B) and add a reducer bushing such as the 
LVU800-3N40, thread x thread, reducer bushing.

   

b.  Avoid tank adapter (thread x thread) styles and/or pipe stops forward of the installed transducer. 
c.  Always mount the tank adapter so the majority of fitting is outside the tank. 

i. Note: 

Never mount the tank adapter upside down or where the bulk of the material is 

inside the tank.

Do not use thread x thread 

2. 

Riser: 

 Installations with tall, narrow risers can impede the acoustic signal.  

a. 

Core Out Concrete:

  Applications where a tank with a concrete ceiling that has been cored out 

can also be considered as a riser type application.  In these applications follow a 2:1 ratio (Inner 
Diameter to Core Height) for the diameter of the core. 

a.  2” (5 cm) diameter risers should be no taller than 4” (10.0 cm).  Larger diameter risers should be 

no taller than 12” (30.5 cm).

Note:

 Do not exceed the dimensions listed above. 

 

 

Note:

 If attempting to raise the 

sensor above the top of the tank 
to allow for a higher fill capacity, 
avoid the use of tall and narrow 
risers.  The example to the left 
exceeds the dimensions listed in 
the 

Riser Specifications

 chart.  

Use a larger tank adapter which 
takes into account the
