Standard Installation Materials

Circuit Breaker

20 Amp — providing power only for the console

Weatherproof Junction Boxes

Minimum 16 cubic inch (406.4 cubic mm) weatherproof 

junction box, cover, and cover gasket for the manholes of 

liquid level probes. Also use ½  inch (16 mm) bushings for 

probe compression fittings. 
Use a weatherproof metal pull box for combining several 

circuits that will run into the console through one or more 

conduits. 
Use a separate weatherproof metal pull box to combine 

intrinsically safe (IS) liquid level probe wiring. Do not run

other non-intrinsically safe wiring within the IS pull box.

Run ½ inch (16 mm) IS probe conduit from the manholes 

to the IS pull box, and then run one or two ½ inch (16 mm) 

conduits to the console’s IS conduit knockouts.

Conduit

Rigid metal conduit (RMC) - male NPT threaded: use 

½ (16 mm) for IS probe wiring to the console (from the 

manholes, use ½ inch conduit), and use ½ inch (16 mm) 

for non-intrinsically safe accessories and power wiring.
Use conduit hardware that is appropriate for the installation 

and meets local, state and federal requirements.

Splice Connector Kits Must Be Used —

Warranty Requirement

Use the FFS-approved, moisture-resistant, no-strip splice 

connectors for liquid level probes. You may order the 

TSP-KW30, which contains 30 of the FFS-approved, 

moisture-resistant connectors.
Using 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 failure.

 • Reduce or 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 thread sealant, 

or equivalent, to seal and waterproof all tank riser pipe 

threads. In addition, the thread sealant (or “pipe dope” 

as it is commonly known) should also be chemically 

non-reactive to the product in the tank(s).

Apply thread 

sealant 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) 2" or 4" 

(50.8 or 101.6 mm) (8 NPT) riser pipes for liquid level 

probes. 

Probe Installation Kit(s)

The appropriate FFS 2” or 4” probe installation kit must 

be used when installing TSP-LL2 (not -I) leak detection 

probes and / or Density Measurement float kits.
