INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Page 1 - 9 1
Conduit
Conduit - male NPT threaded: use 1/2” (12.7 mm) or 3/4” (19.1 mm) for Intrinsically
Safe probe and sensor wiring to the console, from the manholes, use 1/2” (12.7
mm) or 3/4” (19.1 mm) conduit, and use 1/2” (12.7 mm) or 3/4” (19.1 mm) for Non-
Intrinsically Safe accessories, and power wiring. Also, see Chapter 5.
Conduit Hardware
Conduit nuts, 90 & 45 degree fittings, “T” fittings, FF reducing couplings, FF
couplings, weatherproof metal pull boxes, EYS – epoxy “Y” seal fittings, epoxy,
UniStrut and UniStrut Nut assemblies, conduit clamps, and fasteners that are
appropriate for the wall construction.
Splice Connector Kits MUST BE USED — this is a Warranty Requirement
Use the INCON approved, moisture-resistant no-strip splice connectors for liquid
level probe and leak detection sensor wires. You may order the TSP-KW30, which
contain 30 of the INCON approved, moisture resistant connectors.
Using the moisture resistant splice connectors will:
• Reduce/eliminate corrosion of the wire connections – from repeated exposure to
water condensation, which causes eventual signal loss, and system failures.
• Reduce/eliminate equipment damage – from water flooding around the
connectors, which causes short-circuit damage.
Thread Sealant (UL classified)
Use a non-hardening “stay-soft” teflon pipe dope, or equivalent, to seal and
waterproof all tank riser pipe threads. Make sure the pipe dope is chemically
non-reactive to the product in the tank(s).
Pipe Dope
Apply pipe dope to seal/waterproof all outdoor electrical conduit fitting threads,
including the hole plugs at the weatherproof junction boxes.
Riser Pipes
ANSI Schedule 40 (or chemically non-reactive) – 4 inch NPT (DN115 BSP 4-11)
riser pipes for Liquid Level Probes. See Leak Detection Sensor Installation manuals
about any required riser pipes and riser cap adapters.
Probe Installation Kit(s)
See Chapter 6 of this manual about the items included with the TSP-K4A standard
probe installation kit. For Chemical Applications, see the TSP-LL2C Level Probe
Installation Instructions about the TSP-K4AS stainless steel riser cap adapter kit
and the TSP-SSP stainless steel product float.
