Tighten nipple with a pipe wrench.
Apply thread sealant to the exposed nipple end and thread the gauge
onto the nipple. Tighten the gauge onto the nipple with a 3” wrench and
pipe wrenches so that the open side of the gauge is aligned with the
gauge board and faces towards the board.
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.
Pull float cable from the 2” opening on the gauge head and feed it through
the nipple and coupling down into the tank.
