Figure 30

Tightening the Clasp Nut

The following numbers refer to Figure 30 above:

1 = Probe
2 = Clasp nut
3 = Fitting screw
4 = Pen

CAUTION

Take care not to damage the probe body. A damaged body makes the
probe less tight and may prevent it from going through the clasp nut.

CAUTION

In pressurized processes it is essential to tighten the supporting nuts and
screws very carefully to prevent loosening of the probe by the action of
pressure.

NOTE

Take care not to over tighten the clasp nut to avoid difficulties when
opening it.
