PROBLEM SOLVED SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW PROBLEM
My whole system is plumbed in using 15mm push fit tubing and fittings.
For some annoying reason Gardiner only supply imperial fittings for their inline TDS meters so I thought okay I’ll get the 1/2” t-pieces and the 1/4” probes, a metre of 1/2” tubing and 2 x 1/2” push fit to 1/2” BSP male thread.
I already had some 15mm push fit to 1/2” brass BSP female thread.
To make it work I was basically going to do this:
15mm tube > push fit brass-1/2” female BSP > 1/2” male plastic BSP-1/2” push fit > 1/2” tube > 1/2” t-piece for TDS probe > then everything else in reverse out the other way.
Ordered it and received it today only to find the 1/2” BSP push fit piece doesn’t work with the 15mm push fit to 1/2” thread?
I tried several different fittings but neither of them screwed?
What other type of thread/fitting is there to make this work?
I’d rather not have to change all my fittings and tubing just to fit this one 1/2” fitting.
Has anyone used an inline TDS meter before with 15mm tubing?
Thanks.
ABOVE PROBLEM SOLVED....
However...
The model I have is HM Digital TRM-1 which is the 3 probe version.
My RO is in the van by the side door and fills the tank at the inlet there. Then at the back doors the pump draws from the outlet and through my DI and then to my hose reel.
The cables that go from the unit to each probe are just shy of 60cm!!
Even if the unit is mounted at the back it barely reaches the nearest pipe let alone the RO by the side door.
Can I splice the wires and lengthen them using some spare wiring I have lying around? Or is it some sort of special wiring?
HM digital must have assumed that all three lines would be in such close proximity to each other...grrrrrr
