Please note that the preparation procedures differ for different gauge heads. Please ensure you use the proper procedure for your gauge
head.

Mark a location on the top of the tank for the gauge head connection. The
connection shall be 16 in. from the tank wall, with clearance of 3 ft above,
and 1 ft to each side of the gauge head. Ensure a clear path, free of ob-
structions, on the outside of the tank leading from the gauge head mount
to the ground.
Cut a hole to match the diameter of the coupling at the marked location.
Align the 2 NPT coupling to the cut hole and weld to the tank roof using
appropriate weld procedures.
