C.) Preparing the Tank for a Gauge Board
Weld the top and bottom gauge board clips, centred on the chalk line, to
the wall of the tank . The vertical distance between centres of the top and
bottom gauge board clips shall be 1.5 in less than the overall length of the
gauge board. See section D for No-Weld Alternative to gauge board clips.
A Hawkeye Industries Inc. Poly Float
Guide Anchor can be lowered into the
tank to anchor the float guides if it is
in service or otherwise inaccessible.
Consult the Float Guide Kit installation
instructions for details.
Magnetic gauge board clips can be
substituted for weld-on clips if welding
is not suitable. Follow the same pro-
cedures for spacing as with weld-on
clips.
Weld intermediate clips between the top and bottom clips, ensuring the
span between the clip centres does not exceed 5 ft (60 in).
