Four Ways to Install
a Halogen Sensor
Selecting the right mounting configuration is key to accurate readings, long sensor life, and easy maintenance. Every option is NSF-61 certified for direct drinking water contact — and none require a waste stream.
Wet-Tap with Remover
Live pipe insertion — no shutdown required
The wet-tap mount allows sensor installation and removal without shutting down the process line, making it ideal for continuous systems and live distribution mains where downtime is not acceptable.
- power_offInstall and remove without system shutdown
- water_dropNo wasted water — zero waste stream
- speedRated up to 145 PSI operating pressure
- buildReduces maintenance-related disruptions
- location_onIdeal for distribution mains and remote vaults

Side Stream (MKIT)
Wall-mounted flow cell — easiest install
The MKIT side-stream configuration diverts a small flow of process water through a separate, low-pressure wall-mounted flow cell (maximum 60 PSI) where the sensor is housed. The ideal starting point and great for demos.
- wallWall-mounted — no floor drain or sample panel required
- recyclingSide stream can return water to process (NSF-61)
- boltFastest and easiest installation — great for demos
- swap_horizIdeal for replacing old instruments where wet-tap isn't practical
- verifiedLow-pressure design — max 60 PSI

Immersion
Open tanks, basins & reservoirs
Immersion-style mounting suspends the sensor directly in open tanks, basins, clearwells, or large channels. No pipe connection required — the sensor hangs directly in the water body at any depth.
- waterWorks in zero flow — no minimum flow requirement
- water_dropNo waste stream, no bypass plumbing
- straightenAdjustable depth for variable water levels
- plumbingNo complex pipe fitting — simple installation
- location_citySuitable for clearwells, tanks, open channels
Best For
PVC Tee (Pipe Install)
Direct inline — lowest cost option
The PVC tee mount integrates the sensor directly into a pipeline using standard plumbing fittings. The most economical installation option — no waste stream, no bypass, just a standard tee in the pipe.

- water_dropNo waste stream — direct inline measurement
- buildUses standard PVC pipe fittings
- speedRated up to 145 PSI

Quick Selection Guide
Answer these questions to narrow down the right mount for your site.
Can you shut off the line?
Is it an open tank or reservoir?
Do you need wall mounting at a treatment plant?
Need the lowest cost solution?
Maximum pressure above 60 PSI?
Use Wet-Tap or PVC Tee (both rated 145 PSI). MKIT max is 60 PSI.
