STEP 5: Pipe Valve Installation
The sensor comes standard with a 2" stainless steel ball valve and a 2" x close stainless steel nipple. The 2" x
close stainless steel nipple is to be used if the installation site has a female tting, i.e., a welded coupling. If the
installation site has a male tting, i.e. a 2" nipple, then the supplied 2" x close stainless steel nipple is not required
for the sensor installation.
Use the supplied pipe sealant or Teon thread tape when installing the valve onto the pipe.
NOTE: If using an existing valve or corporation stop insure it has a minimum port inside diameter of 1-7/8" (48mm),
and a 2" (50mm) NPT female pipe thread output for the sensor. Ensure that the existing valve and nipple are of
high quality.
The valve can be installed onto a welded coupling or pipe saddle. See Figure 11. Alternative ball valve or corporation
stop sizes may be used or required. Consult factory for alternative congurations.

WARNING!
Pressurized pipes should only be hot tapped, cut, or drilled by qualied personnel using high quality saddles,
valves and stainless steel nipples. If possible, depressurize the pipe before attempting any installation.
