4.3.5 Installing the Sensor onto the Valve

The sensor has 1.5 in (approximately 38 mm) NPT male threads to screw onto the
valve. If an adaptor is not required to mount the sensor onto the valve, skip steps 1
to 3.
1. If using a finned, high-temperature adaptor, a thin layer of thermal joint
compound must be applied on the outside of the mounting adaptor before
assembling all parts; remove excess of compound with solvent.
2. Wrap PTFE tape on the adaptor's threads.
CAUTION
3. Screw the adaptor onto the valve and tighten it using an adjustable wrench.
CAUTION
4. Wrap PTFE tape on the sensor's threads. See Figure 4-5.
