2.4.2.1 To install a rigid single rod probe:
1. Ensure that the process connection is at least 1" NPT or is a
flanged mounting.
2. Carefully place the probe into the vessel. Align the gasket
on flanged installations.
3. Align the probe process connection with the threaded or
flanged mounting on the vessel.
4. For threaded connections, tighten the hex nut of the probe
process connection. For flanged connections, tighten flange
bolts.
5. When mounted directly into vessels, the probe can be stabi-
lized by placing the tip of the probe into a non-metallic cup
or bracket at the bottom of the probe.
A bottom spacer option is offered for mounting into a
