Weld the Mounting Hardware Onto the Pipe Threaded Flo-tap Flanged Flo-tap
Tack Weld the Mounting Hardware with 4 Equal Length Tacks Tack weld anywhere on the mounting hardware Then again directly across from the first tack weld Then on the other 2 sides 1 3 2
Check to See that the Mounting Hardware is Level and Square If it’s not, use a rubber mallet to lightly adjust the hardware and recheck
Verify that the ODF Dimension Matches What is Listed in the QIG The ODF is the dimension from outside pipe diameter to face of flange 485
Verify that the ODF Dimension Matches What is Listed in the QIG The ODF is the dimension from outside pipe diameter to face of flange For Threaded Flo-tap the dimension from the pipe OD to the top of the threadolet is called LMH: 485 Sensor Size 1: 1.38-in. (35 mm) 485 Sensor Size 2: 1.56-in. (40 mm) 485 Sensor Size 3: 2.06-in. (52 mm)
Complete a Continuous Weld Around the Perimeter of the Unit
Attached the Full Port Valve to the Mounting Hardware Threaded Flo-tap First, thread the guide nipple into the mounting then thread the valve Flanged Flo-tap ODV The valve stem should be in-line with the pipe so it will not interfere with the insertion rods The valve must be a full port valve to allow the Annubar to pass through the valve into the pipe
Verify the ODV Dimension The ODV is the dimension from the outer diameter of the pipe to the top of the valve Flo-tap / Flange Rating 485 Sensor Size 585 Sensor Size ODV Dimension Threaded 1 --- 7.51-in.

Drill the Hole by Using a Hot Tap Drilling Machine Guide Ring in Rosemount Supplied Mounting Hardware Tag with correct drill hole size attached to the Annubar
After the Hole is Drilled, Retract the Drill Past the Valve and Close the Valve Vent drilling machine and remove the per manufacturers and site procedures Threaded Flo-tap Flanged Flo-tap Remember that the hot tap drilling machine is under pressure and exposed to the process fluid
Attach the Fully Retracted Flo-tap Assembly to the Valve Threaded Flo-tap
Attach the Fully Retracted Flo-tap Assembly to the Valve Flanged Flo-tap – Use a hoist strap and crane if needed
Quickly Open and Close the Valve to Pressurize the Annubar, Check for Leaks
If Leaks are Present, Tighten the Packing Gland Nuts
Loosen the Insertion Limiting Nuts
Simultaneously Tighten the Insertion Drive Nuts to Insert the Annubar
Lower the Head Plate Lock and Full Insertion Marking Nuts to the Head Plate Head Plate Lock Nut
To Retract the Annubar – Loosen the Retraction Limiting Nuts Retraction Limiting Nuts (Same as Insertion Drive Nuts)
Loosen the Retraction Drive Nuts to Retract the Annubar
Other Installation Considerations During insertion, the rods can twist and the top plate and support can come out of alignment. Makes insertion difficult Hit the top plate with a rubber to put them back in-line
