4.6 CROSS PIN MOUNT (HPM-E)

A cross-pin mount can be added to a mounting block to create a monitor-ready attachment location. The same cross-pin mount and
detented cross-pin included with the I-beam clamp/2" hitch mount is used for this purpose. Contact tft.com or your local dealer to
order additional mounts as spare or replacement parts.

4.7 TANK LIP CLAMP (HPM-F)

The tank lip clamp is intended for use on floating roof tanks that are constructed in accordance with the API 650 2007 standard, with
top angle stiffening rings between 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" x 1/4" to 4" x 4" x 1/2".

4.7.1 TANK LIP CLAMP ASSEMBLY

Before installing the clamp onto the tank lip, consideration should be given to the desired monitor position (inside or outside the tank),
hose lay (hose should be supported as close to the monitor as possible to reduce the load created by the weight of the hose and
water on the clamp and monitor), operator position, and the direction the stream will need to point. The monitor should be positioned
as close to the clamp jaws as possible to reduce the torque imparted by the reaction force of the stream and the weight of the hose
and the water within the hose on the clamp, and ultimately the tank lip itself. Too much torque can damage the clamp and/or the tank.
1) Install the cross-pin mount in
the desired monitor location.
2) Turn the clamp arm crank counterclockwise to
ensure it is fully retracted before installing on the tank.
3) Position the fixed jaw as close to the cross-pin mount
as possible while allowing clearance for the monitor.
4) Pin the movable jaw in the closest to or next closest position
to the fixed jaw depending on the top angle. If the jaws are
pinned 3 holes apart, the clamp head will not engage the tank lip.

4.7.2 INSTALLING THE TANK LIP CLAMP

1) With the jaws pinned in the desired positions,
slide the assembly over the tank lip. Be careful
not to drop the assembly into or off the side of the tank.
2) While holding the fixed jaw flush against the
tank lip, rotate the crank clockwise until the
clamp head is snug against the tank lip.
3) Rotate the crank an additional half-turn until tight.
