Two mounting options are qualified for the transmitter: panel mount or 2-inch pipe mount. A stainless steel panel bracket is provided with the 3154. For the 3152 and 3153 series, the user has the option of specifying either the stamped carbon steel panel bracket or the stainless steel panel bracket.
Reference Manual 00809-0100-4835 Rev BD Rosemount 3150 Series July 2016 Mount the process flanges with sufficient clearance for process connections. For safety reasons, place the drain/vent valves so the process fluid is directed away from possible human contact when the vents are used.
