9. Remove the hammer, then remove the Drive Head Assembly.
10. Slide a coupling over the tubing and tighten firmly onto the previous
extension pipe. Slide the next extension over the tubing and tighten
it securely. Continue adding couplings and extensions (as described in
steps 6–9) until you are ready to connect the next port.
11. Thread the second port over the tubing and tighten onto the extension,
then connect the tubing to the port stem.
12. Before threading the next extension over the tubing, use a zip/cable
tie to group/bundle the two tubes together close to the port stem.
13. Ensure the two tubes are not twisted, but parallel. Use cable ties along
the length of the tubing, as required, to keep the tubes from twisting
(keep them loose enough to be able to slide along the tubing).
14. Slide an extension over the tubing and using the cable ties to assist
with tubing management, slide them along the tubing in front of the
extension.
15. Once the extension and cable ties reach the port stem, cut the ties
from around the tubing and connect the extension to the port.
Important: Do not hold the tubing while threading the extension into
the port; you can untwist the free ends of the tubing after
the extension is connected, if required.
17. Before connecting the third port, pay close attention to where the
port stem is. Ideally, when installing 3 tubes, you’d like to create an
evenly spaced triangle formation with the three tubes/port stems
(similarly, create an evenly spaced formation if using more than three
ports with 1/4” tubing).
16. Continue connecting couplings and extensions (as described in steps
6–9), using cable ties for tubing management, until you are ready to
connect the third port.
18. If you are using 1/4" sample tubes, continue adding ports (connect
tubing to each one) and extensions as previously described, until the
desired installation depth is reached.
19. Pull up on each tube to straighten and ensure none are twisted or
kinked.
20. To identify port depths, consider cutting each tube at a different
length (e.g. shortest tube = shallowest port). Attach a tube cap to each
sample tube to complete the installation.
Tubing
615 ML
Use cable ties to bundle the tubing.
Push/move the cable tie along to keep tubing grouped and
avoid twisting.
Keep tubing from twisting before adding extension.
Cut and remove cable ties. Now slowly slide extension into
place and tighten.
Create a triangle formation with the tubing.
