Probe
Installation
Mounting Bottom-Mount Probes
Inventory probes come with hardware that allows them
to be installed resting on the bottom of the tank. This
hardware includes an extra spacer for the probe head
and a ¼" tall foot for the end of the shaft.
When using a 2" riser you will remove the top spacer
and replace the bottom spacer with the 2" spacer
included with the 2" floats. When using a 3" riser, break
off tabs on the top spacer and replace the bottom
spacer. No modification is needed for the 4" risers.
This is solely for the Inventory control probes, all leak
detection probes MUST BE suspended.
