Converting a Threaded NPT Connection to a
Flange Connection
Supplement to Fisherr L2, L2e, and L2sj Level Controller
Instruction Manuals
This supplement contains information for converting L2, L2e, and L2sj level controller threaded NPT connections to
flange type connections.
Refer to the Maintenance section of the appropriate instruction manual for instructions on removing the sensor from
the controller, and disassembly of the sensor connector.
See figures 1, 2, and 3 for conversion and weld end details.
Note
Modification of the L2, L2e, or L2sj sensor to a flanged connection limits the pressure rating to the flange rating.
Refer to tables 1 and 3.
Ensure flanges are marked with the appropriate pressure rating.
Flange Orientation
Orient the controller so that the case is level. See figure 4 for the proper sensor orientation for flange welding.
WARNING
To maintain code/standard compliance, weld fabrication must meet the requirements of ASME Section IX. Failures to meet
these requirement could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
To maintain compliance with NACE MR0175, weld fabrication must meet the requirements of NACE MR0175, paragraph 5.3.
Failure to meet these requirements could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
