1.
Determining the insertion length
Before installing the unit, determine the length the insertion shaft will need to travel
inside the pipeline. Measure from the top of the pipeline’s isolation valve to the center
one-third of the pipeline.

Once the insertion length of the shaft is determined, this length should be measured on
the shaft itself (Refer to Figure 2 following steps 2a-2e on the next page.)
