Function Description:

The primary function of the 419EG Drop Tube Extender is to lengthen a 2-inch drop tube, which is typically used in storage tanks for gauging purposes.

The installation process involves drilling 0.25-inch diameter holes, which are then used to secure the extender to the drop tube sections. The design incorporates a template sticker with numbered steps (1-8) for precise alignment and attachment.
