Selecting and mounting guide pipes
Guide pipes are required for most installations, except for tank top and underground
applications. Guide pipes are usually used in three locations:
• Gauge head to sheave elbow
• Sheave elbow to sheave elbow
• Sheave elbow to tank roof
Precautions regarding installation
• Note that guide pipes and pipe supporters are not supplied by Endress+Hauser.
• Ensure that any bends in guide pipes are 5 mm (0.17 in) or smaller.
• The space (piping distance) between a sheave elbow and a sheave elbow must be no
more than 2.5 m (8.2 ft).

inner lining is recommended.
