Probe Installation
Access Chamber Installation
GENERAL
The installation of the tank access chamber is the responsibility of the customer or their local site contractor and
not that of Gilbarco S.r.l. / Gilbarco UK. However, there are certain requirements which need to be met to allow
the correct installation of Veeder-Root in–tank monitoring probes. Typical installations are shown in
Figure 10 and
Figure 11.

To allow adequate space for probe installation and servicing, it is recommended that the access chamber is a
minimum 750mm deep and 600mm wide at the base. See Figure 12.
