The FCT tee fitting comes with a plug that allows for installation of the FCT into the irrigation system prior to installing the sensor. This allows the FCT tee to be installed separately from the sensor and prevents damage during installation of the body.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove the sensor plug or sensor while the system is under pressure.
To install the sensor into the body:
- Turn the system pressure off
- Unscrew the cap from the top of the FCT (figure 1).
NOTE: Never glue the WFS sensor into the fitting! The threaded cap is designed to seal under pressure.
- Use pliers or a screwdriver and carefully pry the plug from the FCT tee. Save plug for winterization use.
- Insert the sensor into the FCT. The sensor has a at side that engages on the inside of the sensor body (figure 2).
- Hand-tighten the WFS sensor cap (figure 3).
