5.7.1.3 Vertical Pipe Installation
Important: A Sensor Cover Support Installation Kit is recommended
when installing the cover assembly on vertical pipes. Contact
Customer Support if you do not have a Sensor Cover Support
Installation Kit.
Figure 21 Sensor Cover Support Installation Kit
Installation of the sensor cover on vertical pipes is as follows:
1. Install the sensor band.
2. Mark the pipe at a distance of about 10-inches (254 mm) from the
top of the sensor band (or 8-inches (203 mm) from thermal
blanket if installed) at 4 locations around the pipe.
3. Cut 2 each 24-inch (610 mm) lengths from the roll of cover upper
support strap (hook and loop strap). These will be used as the
cover support straps.
4. Install the cover upper support strap and align it with the four
marks located at 10-inches above the sensor band assembly.
Install the 2 cover support straps so they will align with the lifting
handles on each cover half.
5. Mark the pipe at a distance of 7-inches from the bottom of the
sensor band (or 5-inches (127 mm) from thermal blanket if
installed) at 4 locations around the pipe.
6. S
lide the 4 cleats onto the 1” ratcheting strap so the cleat bottom
will contact the pipe. (Use fewer cleats for small pipe sizes.) This
is the cover lower support strap assembly.
7. Install the cover lower support strap assembly using the 4 marks
as alignment guides.
a. The individual support cleats should be positioned
approximately equal distant between them.
b. The cleats should be located such they are ~1/4th of the
distance from the cover flanges.
