APPLY
a
minimum of 2 to
a
maximum of 3 wraps of Teflon tape to the threads of
the bushing. This is especially important if the unit is to be used
in metal
fittings where coarse metal threads could gall plastic if not lubricated. The
plastic bushing
CAN BE CRACKED if the main body of the level switch is
tightened into it FIRST. Cracking will not occur if the bushing is FIRST
tightened into the pipe or tank fitting and THEN the LV-1200 body is
tightened into the bushing.
Therefore:
to
3
wraps of Teflon tape, which must be intact or renewed if the bushing and
switch are separated before assembly in tank. Care must be exercised
when threading the bushing into plastic or metal fittings.
