A.) Installing Roadside Gauge Head
Pull float cable from the 1½” opening on the gauge head and feed it
through the 1½” coupling down into the tank. Place thread sealant on the
1½” NPT threads of the gauge head.
Unravel the rest of the float cable, if it has not already done so on its own,
into the tank and remove the nut and washer from the float cable stud.
Feed the stud and cable through the center hole of the float and replace
the nut and washer. Tighten the nut until there are three threads showing.
Thread the gauge into the coupling. Tighten the gauge with a pipe wrench
so that the open side of the gauge is aligned with the gauge board and
faces away from the board.
