Installing Support Brackets & Pipework
Note Ensure you have completed all previous steps from your installation checklist
before proceeding.
Note The pipe carrying the perforated tape must be attached to the tank by welding the
supplied brackets. If the environment is such that welding cannot be performed, the user
can construct a support structure with 3-inch (76 mm) pipe or conduit close to the outside
of the tank. The brackets can be welded to the support structure at another location, if
necessary, and the pipe structure assembled at the tank site.
1. Weld or bolt the pipe support brackets into place. When installing the conduit (pipework)
start installing conduit and sheave elbows from the tank entry point to the gauge head at
grade level.
2. Apply pipe thread compound and install the sheave elbow on the vertical pipe to the tank
interior, then install the horizontal pipe into that elbow.
3. Install the other elbow on the horizontal pipe.
4. Mount the exterior vertical pipe into the support brackets and screw it into the upper
elbow.
5. Tighten the support bracket nuts.
6. Remove the bolts, covers, and gaskets from the elbows.
