IMPORTANT! Installing the MAG-XL Flex Probe requires two people.
PROBE INSTALLATION - MANWAY 4-INCH RISER PIPE
1.
Slide the conduit hangers of the battery support assembly down over the 4-inch riser pipe and let it rest
against the tank flange for now.
2.
Screw the brass ring (from the brass riser cap and ring kit) onto the 4” riser and tighten with strap wrench.
3.
When lifting the coiled probe prior to installation, the stainless steel weight must always hang straight down
(see Figure 11). DO NOT BEND THE TUBING. Do not let the radius of the coiled probe become less than
23” or the brass tube may kink.
KINKING THE PROBE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
CAUTION! Do not let one person lower the probe into the tank to avoid bends in the tube or twists
to the coils!
4.
Using two people as shown in Figure 11, lower the weight into the tank. Do not drop the weight the full length
of the probe or it may damage the end of the probe. Slowly feed the probe into the riser, cutting the remaining
tie wraps, one by one, as you go. Do not cut all of the tie wraps at once. They have been sequentially marked.
Start with tie wrap number 1 at the bottom end of the probe.
5.
When all but the last couple of feet of the probe tubing is in the tank, one person must continue to hold the
top of the probe tubing while the second person, applies pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to threads of the
threaded fitting at the top of the probe and then screws the probe fitting into the 4” brass riser cap. The entire
probe assembly is supported by this connection, so the probe’s top fitting must be tightened securely in the
riser cap.
CAUTION: One person cannot lower probe into tank correctly!
