The Signet 3719 pH/ORP Wet-Tap allows installation and removal of pH or
ORP electrodes without the need for process shutdown during routine electrode
maintenance and calibration. Process isolation is achieved with a double O-ring
seal on a unique and compact retraction assembly; no separate valve is required.
A cam-activated automatic locking mechanism, SafeLoc™, and the short stroke
design help to assure operator safety.

Installation
Notes on Location, Orientation and Required Clearance
• The 3719-1X is designed for use in pipes up to 4 in.
• The 3719-2X is designed for use in pipes from 6 to 12 in.
• Select a location that will provide suffi cient clearance to
remove and insert the electrode.
• The 3719 can be mounted in any orientation, including
horizontal and inverted. Avoid the 12 o'clock position. In the
presence of sediment, avoid the 6 o'clock position. See next
page for dimensional information.
• If inverted, use caution when
removing the sensor.
Residual fl uid may be
present in the retraction
housing. Keep electrode
connector clean and dry at
all times.
Any angle OK

Installation in Pipe Sizes less than 2.5 Inches
• It is possible to install the 3719 into pipe sizes below
2.5 inches by creating a “fl ow cell” with standard piping
components.
• One simple solution, using a tee fi tting and reducer bushings,
is shown in the example below.
• Many similar confi gurations are conceivable in a wide
variety of materials, but be very careful to verify dimensional
compatibility.
• Select an appropriate installation orientation to avoid the
entrapment of air inside the fl ow cell.
• Contact your local Georg Fischer Sales and Support offi ce
for assistance.

Installation in Pipe Sizes 2.5 to 12 Inches
• For reliable in-line measurements of pH and ORP, it is
imperative to position the electrode tip into the process
stream.
• Because of its compact “short stroke” design, the 3719
requires low-profi le fi ttings to ensure
proper positioning in pipe sizes
DN65 to DN300 (2.5 to 12 inches).
• It is strongly recommended
to use low-profi le fi ttings
(customer-supplied).
• Choose the 3719 version (-1X or
-2X) appropriate to the size of the
branch connection of the required
fi tting:
Use -1X for sizes DN65 to DN100
(2.5 to 4 in), and -2X for sizes
DN150 to DN300 (6 to 12 in.)

Installation (Wet-Tap Into Fitting)
The 3719 is packaged with no electrode installed, and with the electrode piston in the fully inserted position.
• Examine the female threads at the top of the electrode piston. Do not install electrode if threads are damaged.
• Examine the two O-rings at the lower end of the assembly. Do not install if O-rings are missing or there are any signs
of damage.
• The internal O-rings (4 each) have been lubricated during assembly with Synthetic grease (PTFE).
• The pipe can be pressurized after completion of step 4.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE RETRACTION HOUSING FROM A PRESSURIZED PIPING SYSTEM!

• Thread the Wet-Tap into the
pipe fi tting.
• Smaller pipes may require
bracing to support the Wet-Tap
weight and the longitudinal
forces required for operation.
• Use an appropriate thread
sealant to prevent leaks.
• The piping system can now be
safely pressurized.
• Inspect the installation for leaks.
Electrode Installation
Before installation, lubricate O-rings with a nonpetroleum based, viscous lubricant (grease)
compatible with the system.
1. Remove the safety plug from top of electrode
piston. Slide electrode straight down into
electrode piston. Thread electrode into place
until connector shoulder is fl ush with top of
electrode piston. Hand tighten only.
WARNING:
Do not fl ex the electrode when inserting
into the Wet-Tap assembly. The electrode can
be permanently damaged if it is fl exed during
installation.
2. Place the Locking Shroud over electrode; turn
¼-turn clockwise to unlock the piston, then press
down fi rmly on the locking shroud to lower the
electrode piston into the pipe.
3. Turn the shroud 1/4-turn counterclockwise to lock
the piston.
4. Install the matching electronics assembly or
preamplifi er onto the electrode connector.

Electrode Removal
The electrode in any pH or ORP system
requires periodic service, calibration or
replacement. When removing the electrode
from the Wet-Tap assembly, it is very important
to exercise caution and follow the instructions
carefully.
1. Remove the preamplifi er from the top of
the Wet-Tap assembly.
2. Turn the locking shroud
to unlock the piston.
3. Pull up on the locking shroud to retract the
electrode piston into the pipe.

DANGER!
The piston should retract easily from a pressurized pipe.
If the piston offers resistance, there is a danger that the
piston is coated with deposits from the process.
STOP! DO NOT FORCE THE PISTON UP!
It may damage the O-rings or break off the piston tip.
Return the locking shroud to the LOCKED position and follow the
steps in the box below.

4. Turn the locking shroud ¼-turn
counterclockwise and lift up to remove it from the Wet-Tap
assembly.
5. Remove the electrode by turning it counterclockwise.
For safety, keep your body clear of the top of the Wet-Tap
assembly while removing the electrode.
If the piston does not retract easily, or if any fl uid is observed leaking from the electrode
threads, the pipe must be drained before the 3719 can be safely removed.
• Stop the fl ow and depressurize the pipe.
• Remove the entire 3719 assembly from the pipe.
• Remove the electrode from the assembly
• Clean any scaling and debris found on or in the piston tip and surrounding area.
DANGER!
If any fl uid is observed leaking from the electrode
threads, STOP! DO NOT REMOVE THE ELECTRODE.
There is a danger that the piston tip has been damaged.
Tighten the electrode back down to reseal the assembly
