Pull shaft back until the probe is all the way in the seal housing and tighten the Socket Cap Screws on the locking
collar. This will prevent the OID™ shaft from sliding and the probe from getting damaged during mounting.
Measure the distance (D1) from the outside diameter of main pipe to the end of the connection where the OID™
sensor is going to be installed. FIG. 3-5.

Calculate the insertion distance for
Flanged Seal Housing
(If you have a MNPT Seal Housing, proceed to
step 9):
Total Insertion Distance (TID) = D1 + Pipe Wall Thi Seal Thickness -1/4"
Example for D1= 19", Pipe WT=3/8", and Seal Thickness is 1/8"
TID=19 + 3/8 + 1/8 – 1/4 or TID=19 + .375 + .125 – .25
TID= 19 1/4" or 19.25"
