Pipe Tee Mounting
Normally available pipe tees vary widely in construction dimensions. CPVC pipe tees are most generally available with schedule 80 walls.
Stainless steel tees have thinner walls that change the final position of the sensor. Common mounting arrangements are shown.
Detailed Pipe Tee Installation Instructions
1.
Wiring:
a.
Route the cable either through conduit or on a cable tray.
b.
Insert the sensor cable into junction box through a watertight cord grip.
c.
Connect the sensor wires into the terminal block as specified on the cable label.
2.
Mount:
a.
Apply Teflon
®
tape to the sensor body threads.
b.
Insert the sensor into the tee and slowly turn clockwise until secure. Tighten the
sensor with a wrench until snug to prevent leaking. Be sure the pipe remains full
when the sensors are installed.
The sensor head is pre-calibrated at the factory and should not require additional calibration
on initial installation unless the DataStick has been in storage for more than two weeks.
