U Detachable Electrode for Easy
Maintenance and Removal
The PHE-6820B electrode and assembly
features a retractable design for insertion
into tanks and main lines. The assembly,
when used with a 1" full port or larger ball
valve (user supplied), allows the electrode
to be removed without shutting the system
down. This electrode can be mounted in
any location, even up through the bottom
of a tank with the electrode surface facing
upward. Its unique design affords mounting
in any direction and is suitable for most
systems’ inherent design.
The flat surface design minimizes fouling
and coating and eliminates electrode
breakage. Turbulent flow across the
electrode surface results in a scrubbing
action that keeps the electrode clean.
The flat surface electrode is specifically
designed for difficult applications such as
oily waste water, emulsions, lime slurries,
and flocculants.

Note: At the time of initial purchase, please order both
electrode and mounting assembly. Mounting assembly
includes insertion assembly and cable. If ordered
with automatic temperature compensation (ATC), the
temperature compensator is built into the insertion
assembly. When electrode has expired, simply
re-order electrode.
