INSTALLING AND SECURING YOUR B409

BEFORE INSTALLING PENETRATION FITTINGS

ENSURE THAT THE SUMP BODY IS HOLDING VACUUM. 

If the gauge is Below 12 inches of mercury (Hg/Vacuum), then pressurize the

sump interstice to 4 PSI and submerge the gauge and tubing assemblies.

Soap test the test tubing fittings on the walls. If an air leak is found, contact

the factory. If no leak at the tubing

is found, soap test the rest of the sump 

surface starting with the exterior. Visually inspect for damage. If the leak is found,

patch per repair directions in this manual. 

If the gauge is 

AT OR ABOVE 12 INCHES OF MERCURY

, proceed to
