Probe and Riser Installation Criteria
Mag probe installations require a 2-inch or 3-inch (51 or 76mm) riser, regardless of tank entry size. Entry sizes of 1
inch, or entries larger than 3 inches must be with the suitable fittings.
The canister of the probe must be completely contained within the riser. In all cases, the probe must rest on the
bottom of the tank (see
Figure 13). Risers, when fitted, should be a minimum of 100mm above the probe canister.
