COMPRESSION FITTING OPERATION

A bored through tube fitting, properly sized to
accommodate an insertion probe's particular OD,
can be provided by the user or purchased as an
option from Sage Metering (see page 38). Prior to
installation, a clearance hole to accommodate the
insertion probe assembly must be drilled in the
pipe/duct. A fitting (1/2" FNPT) is then welded in
place or threaded into the half-threadolet which has
been welded to the pipe/duct. The probe insertion
depth is adjustable to permit sensor to be located at
center, to optimize measurement accuracy. (Refer to
PROBE INSERTION GUIDELINE DRAWING and
CHART, pages 14 & 15.)
Insert the probe shaft tubing into the
compression fitting to the position indicated
in the Probe Insertion guidelines.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Insert tubing into the tube fitting.
2. Make sure that the tubing is positioned properly
per the PROBE INSERTION GUIDELINE DRAW-
ING AND CHART, pages 14 & 15.
3. Due to the variations of tubing diameters, a
common starting point is desirable. Therefore,
tighten the nut until the tubing will not turn
by hand or move axially in the fitting.
4. Scribe the nut at the 6 o'clock position.
5. While holding fitting body steady, tighten the nut
1 ⁄ turns to the 9 o'clock position.
