Weld the top and bottom gauge board clips, centred on the chalk line, to

the wall of the tank . The vertical distance between centres of the top and

bottom gauge board clips shall be 1.5 in less than the overall length of the

gauge board. See section D for No-Weld Alternative to gauge board clips.

A Hawkeye Industries Inc. Poly Float

Guide Anchor can be lowered into the

tank to anchor the float guides if it is

in service or otherwise inaccessible.

Consult the Float Guide Kit installation

instructions for details.

Magnetic gauge board clips can be

substituted for weld-on clips if welding

is not suitable. Follow the same pro-

cedures for spacing as with weld-on

clips.

Weld intermediate clips between the top and bottom clips, ensuring the

span between the clip centres does not exceed 5 ft (60 in).
