2.3.4 Mounting the Anchor Cone
It is recommended to use the Titan supplied anchor cone. The anchor is required to
prevent excessive flexing and the resulting damage to the probe or tank. It must be
mounted directly in line with the top fitting to prevent bending the probe when installed. A
bent or bowed probe produces inaccurate or false level measurements. Alternative
anchors must have a minimum internal diameter of 1 ½” and approximately 2” high.
The following steps describe the recommended procedure for correct alignment of the top
fitting and anchor cone for retrofit installations or where the positions are not accurately
shown in a drawing. Materials required are a suitable length of rigid 1” tube and a bored
through 1” NPT swage fitting.
Figure 2-5: Locating the Anchor Cone
1. Locate the probe and transmitter according the recommended guidelines. Also
consider location of the anchor cone for probe placement.
2. Install the top collar.
3. Screw the swage fitting into the 1” NPT top fitting.
4. Insert the tube into the swage fitting until it reaches the bottom of the tank.
5. Position the anchor cone where the tube meets the bottom of the tank.
6. Mark the anchor cone position and remove the tube.
7. Weld the anchor cone in place.
