Using the Hot-Tap Installation Tool
The Hot-Tap installation tool helps to lower the
sensor into place against the pressure in the pipe.
1. Thread protector plate hex nuts onto each of the
three threaded rods. Adjust each hex to a height
of approximately 1 in. (25 mm) from the top of
each rod. Remove the black plastic cable grom-
met in top of sensor with a screwdriver. Slide the
grommet up the cable away from sensor.
2. Position the installation tool bearing plate by
rotating it so that it is approximately 2 inches away
from the swivel mount. Mount the installation tool
by placing the threaded rods through the holes in
the tool's bearing plate, resting the bearing plate
on top of the protector plate hex nuts. Make sure
the swivel mount's ears are mounted between the
threaded rods (not over the rods). Install the
bearing plate cap nuts. Tighten the bearing plate
cap nuts to secure the installation tool in place.
