Requirements
The thermostat can be mounted in any position with one 
spring for pipe or tubing up to 1/2” (13 mm) or 2 springs 
hooked together for pipe or tubing up to 1-1/2” (38 mm).
CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble the thermostat as it is
hermetically sealed to prevent moisture condensation on the
electrical contacts
Procedure
On a smooth clean section of the pipe or tubing, hook one end 
of the spring in the hole on the flange. Position the thermostat, 
pull the spring around under the pipe, and hook the other end 
in the hole on the opposite side of the flange. If installed on 
insulated pipe, build up the insulation around and over the 
thermostat only after it is installed.
Make all electrical connections in accordance with job 
diagrams and in compliance with national and local electrical 
codes.
Standard units are supplied with color coded leads for direct 
connection to other equipment or spliced connections in a 
nearby electrical enclosure.
Checkout
