35-3001-06H-DIL Hydrogen/Oxygen Sample-Draw Detector • 9

NOTE:

The sample-draw detector is shipped with the mounting feet “tucked under” the housing 
to protect the mounting feet during shipment.

3. Slightly loosen the screw that secures the mounting foot to the housing, then rotate the 

mounting foot 180 degrees (see Figure 3).

4. Tighten the screw that secures the mounting foot to the housing.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining three mounting feet.

6. Position the sample-draw housing on a vertical surface at eye level (4 1/2 to 5 feet from the 

floor).

7. Insert 1/4 inch screws through the slots in the mounting feet to secure the housing to the 

mounting surface.

Connecting the Sample Lines to the Sample-Draw Detector

See Figure 5 for the fitting layout. 

Installing the Inlet Line with the Particle Filter Connected to the Inlet Fitting

1. Loosen the nut on the inlet fitting until 3 threads are visible.

2. Push the particle filter’s tubing stub into the inlet fitting until it stops. Be sure the arrow on the 

particle filter is pointing toward the inlet fitting.

3. Hand tighten the nut on the inlet fitting so the ferrules clamp on the tubing. If the tube nut is 

removed, see Figure 5 for the arrangement of the fitting components.

4. Connect a length of sample tubing to the other side of the particle filter and route it to the 

sampling area. 1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene, Teflon, or flexible polyurethane tubing may be 
used. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 
0.170” I.D. tubing based on your length requirements. See “Specifications” on page 1 fo
maximum tubing lengths based on tubing size.

CAUTION:

If you use flexible sample tubing (polyurethane is acceptable), use an appropriate 
insert if necessary to provide support to the tubing and ensure a good seal when 
connecting to the flexible stub on the filter.

CAUTION:

Avoid loops or slumps in the incoming sample line. To reduce response time, keep the 
incoming sample line as short as possible.

Installing the Inlet Line Without the Particle Filter Connected to the Inlet Fitting

1. Loosen the nut on the inlet fitting until 3 threads are visible.

2. Push 1/4” O.D. rigid polypropylene or rigid Teflon sample tubing into the fitting until it stops. 

Flexible polyurethane tubing may be used with an appropriate insert. RKI Instruments, Inc. 
recommends using either 1/4” O.D. x 1/8” I.D. or 1/4” O.D. x 0.170” I.D. tubing based on your 
length requirements. See “Specifications” on page 1 for maximum tubing lengths based on 
tubing size.

CAUTION:

 If you use 

flexible

 sample tubing (polyurethane is acceptable), use an appropriate 

insert to seal the connection between the tubing and the inlet fitting.

3. Hand tighten the nut on the inlet fitting so the ferrules clamp on the tubing. If the tube nut is
