The ball valve installation kit (Vaisala item code: BALLVALVE-1) is preferred when connecting
the probe to a pressurized process or pipeline. Use the ball valve set or a 1/2" ball valve
assembly with a ball hole of ø14 mm or more. If you install the probe (ø12 mm) in a process
pipe, please note that the nominal size of the pipe must be at least 1 inch (2.54 cm). Use the
manual press handle to press the probe into the pressurized (< 10 bar) process or pipeline.
