Male NPT Mounting
When mounting the sensing element to the process pipe, it is important that a lubricant/sealant be applied to the male threads of all connec-
tions. Be sure to use a lubricant/sealant compatible with the process environment. All connections should be tightened firmly. To avoid leaks,
do not overtighten or cross-thread connections. See Figure 2-1 and the appropriate drawings in Appendix A for proper mounting.
Flange Mounting
For flange mounted sensing elements, attach the process mating flange with care. The correct orientation of the sensing element must be
maintained to ensure optimum performance or calibration. See Figure 2-2 and the appropriate drawings in Appendix A.
