(Removal key is enclosed with pressure switch.)

2. Mounting the Switch
  The device is designed to be mounted in the upright or 

horizontal  position;  side  mounting  is  also  acceptable. 
Locate it where vibration, shock, and mechanical load-
ing  are  minimal.  Refer  to  piping  diagram  (Figure  2  on
