Mounting the EchoPod

®

 

The EchoPod

®

 should always be mounted perpendicular to the liquid surface and 

installed using the provided Viton

®

 mounting gasket. Always use fittings, with thin wall 

mounting structures that isolate the transducer. This will provide the best performance 

over the lifetime of the product. 

The preferred mounting fitting for the EchoPod

®

 DL24 is the Reducer Bushing LM52-

1400 (2” thread x 1” thread). Further mounting products and solutions can be found 

on the Flowline website at 

www.flowline.com/fittings.php

. An instructional video on 

mounting ultrasonic level measurement technology is also available on the website. 

For installations in existing 2” fittings: 

Use LM52-1400 2” thread x 1” thread adapter (An adapter with 

an air gap around the 1 inch threads as shown is 

recommended) 

For installations in plastic tanks: 

1)  Use a Bulkhead fitting LM52-1890 1” inch Bulkhead 

fitting, 

2)  Use a Bulkhead fitting LM52-2890 in combination with 

LM52-1400 or, 

3)  Weld a plastic 1” half coupler to tank top. 

For installations in metal tanks: 

1)  Use the recommended bulkhead fittings as shown 

above or a LM52-1850 1” Flange. The flange fitting 

must have a riser for the threaded section. Drilling and 

tapping a blind flange is not recommended.   

2)  While installations directly into a 1”metal fitting are not 

recommended, acceptable results may be obtained if 

 the 1” fitting is a half coupling in  form and the outer 

 diameter of the coupler is tightly wrapped in vinyl tape 

 to dampen vibrations.  

 

For installations in open tanks and sumps: 

1)  Use Flowline's LM50-1001-1 side mount bracket, 

which includes a 2" x 1" thread reducer bushing. 

 

Using the drop-down menus on the left of the WebCal screen, set the configuration 

for your application requirements. When a selection does not apply to your 

application, “Not Applicable” will appear in the drop-down. Make sure all drop-downs 
are set appropriately for your application before moving to the Tank Level section.
