MountingtheEchoSonic®II
The sensor should always be mounted perpendicular to the liquid surface using the
providedViton®mountinggasket.Insurethattherearenorestrictionsorobstaclesinthe
pathoftheultrasonicsignal.Furthermounting information canbe found  ontheFlowline
websiteatwww.flowline.com
.
The EchoPod® has a 1” NPT or G fitting and requires more care in mounting to reduce any
coupling of the ultrasonic signal to the mounting structure. The below listed fittings are
recommended. 
Forinstallationsinexisting2”fittings:
1) Use a LM52‐1400 2” thread x 1” thread adapter
(shown to
the right) or a LM52‐1410 2” slip x 1” thread adapter.
(An adapter with an air gap around the 1 inch threads as
shownisrecommended)
Forinstallationsinplastictanks(useoneofthefollowing):
1) Use a 1”  Bulkhead fitting, such as the LM52‐1890 Bulkhead

fitting.
2) Use a larger Bulkhead fitting, such as the LM52‐2890 in
combinationwithareducerbushingsuchastheLM52‐1400.
3) Weldaplastic1”halfcouplingtothetanktop.
Forinstallationsinmetaltanks(useoneofthefollowing):
1) Usetherecommendedbulkheadfittingsas
shownabove.
2) Use a flange with a 1” riser, such as the LM52‐1850 (the
threadisabovetheplaneoftheflange).Donot useablind
flangewithatapped1”thread.
3) Use a larger flange with a 2” thread and add a reducer
bushingsuch
astheLM52‐1200.
Note: While installations directly into a 1”metal fitting are not
recommended, acceptable results may be obtained if the 1”
fitting is a half coupling in form and the outer diameter of the
coupleristightlywrappedinvinyltapetodampenvibrations.

Forinstallationsinopen
tanksandsumps:
1) UseFlowline'sLM50‐1001‐1sidemountbracket.
