Omega Engineering FP-6000 manual Using the Hot-Tap Installation Tool

Using the Hot-Tap Installation Tool

The Hot-Tap installation tool helps to lower the sensor into place against the pressure in the pipe.

1.Thread protector plate hex nuts onto each of the three threaded rods. Adjust each hex to a height of approximately 1 in. (25 mm) from the top of each rod. Remove the black plastic cable grom- met in top of sensor with a screwdriver. Slide the grommet up the cable away from sensor.

2.Position the installation tool bearing plate by rotating it so that it is approximately 2 inches away from the swivel mount. Mount the installation tool by placing the threaded rods through the holes in the tool's bearing plate, resting the bearing plate on top of the protector plate hex nuts. Make sure the swivel mount's ears are mounted between the threaded rods (not over the rods). Install the bearing plate cap nuts. Tighten the bearing plate cap nuts to secure the installation tool in place.
