1. 1

   Measure Tank Height

   Measure the inside of your tank from the top edge of the 1" NPT top fitting to the bottom of the cone or bracket.

   
2. 2

   Measure Outer Tube

   The first cut will be from the outer tube of your Coaxial probe. Measure the outer tube from the threaded end of the probe and add 1" to the measured height of your tank.

   
   Tip: Coaxial Probe Length = Tank height + 1"
3. 3

   Mark the Tube

   Mark this length on the outer tube of your Coaxial probe.

4. 4

   Cut the Outer Tube

   Using a manual pipe cutter, cut the tube at the marked length. Do not use a die grinder.

5. 5

   Leave the Shorting Block in Place

   Leaving the shorting block in place prevents damage to the center rod while cutting.

6. 6

   Cut the Shorting Block

   Then cut at the end of the shorting block to have the correct measurements.

7. 7

   Inspect the Center Rod

   Inspect the center rod through the holes in the tube to ensure that the rod is centered and not touching the tube.

1. 1

   Apply Thread Sealant

   Apply Teflon tape or anti-seize compound to the 1" NPT threads that mate with the top fitting.

2. 2

   Insert Probe into Tank

   Once the probe is cut to fit inside the tank, carefully insert the probe through the top fitting, resting the shorting block inside the anchor cone.

   Ensure there is a 1/2" gap between the bottom of the tank and the bottom of the shorting block.

3. 3

   Tighten Fitting

   Hand tighten the probe into the top fitting, then finish tightening with a 1 3/4" wrench.

   Tip: Make sure the probe is not bent or twisted once it has been installed.
