Environmental seal for housing
Thread sealing (PTFE) tape or paste on male threads of conduit is required to
provide a water/dust tight conduit seal and meets requirements of NEMA
®
Type 4X, IP66, and IP68. Consult factory if other ingress protection ratings are
required.
For M20 threads, install conduit plugs to full thread engagement or until
mechanical resistance is met.
In-line gage transmitter orientation
The low side pressure port (atmospheric reference) on the in-line gage
transmitter is located in the neck of the transmitter, behind the housing. The
vent path is 360° around the transmitter between the housing and sensor.
(See
Figure 3
.)
Keep the vent path free of any obstruction, including but not limited to paint,
dust, and lubrication by mounting the transmitter so that the process can
drain away.

Installing high pressure coned and threaded connection
The transmitter comes with an autoclave connection designed for high
pressure applications. Follow the steps below to properly connect the
transmitter to your process:
1. Apply a process-compatible lubricant to the gland nut threads.
2. Slip the gland nut onto the tube, then thread the collar onto the tube end
(the collar is reverse threaded).
