The Turtle Tough TOUGH Series hot tap valve retractable assembly allows fast and easy insertion and removal of sensors directly into process tanks or pipes at pressures of up to 100 PSIG.
The Turtle Tough TOUGH Series hot tap assembly is used in hundreds of sites worldwide to allow for fast and convenient access to sensors without interrupting the process. The hot tap assembly is designed to work with any Turtle Tough hot tap inline sensors, that feature the part number (SAN), indicating the inline sanitary sensor style. This double wall thickness sensor with the temperature compensation located in the tip is specially designed to work with either the standard 2" ball valve assembly or the optional 1.5" configuration. The hot tap assembly consists of 3 main components:
Main Body Assembly
Insertion Rod and Sensor holder
Mating Fittings
Note: these items are integral parts of the complete hot tap assembly. They are listed separately as they can suffer from wear and tear and require periodic replacement.
Optional Mating Fittings
IMPORTANT:
Please review all Turtle Tough guidelines about installation recommendations. Many sensors (particularly pH) are position sensitive and need to be installed at the appropriate angle. Never exceed the stated specifications or physical limits of either the sensor or the hardware, and always apply the lowest limit rating as the maximum threshold. This assembly is not to be used with any 3rd party equipment.
