2 Air Sampling Noses, mounted with adhesive

1 RF cable extender with SMA connectors, 16.5cm length with cover seal

1 Power wire grommet

1 Straight Antenna for WellStat Air Quality Monitor

2 #4-40 Hex Nut, for mounting WAQ Mounting Plate to Duct Mount Base

4 #4 x ⅜” Plastite Screws for mounting clear cover to Duct Mount Base

4 #6 Self-tapping and self-drilling screws for mounting base to sheet metal duct

Optional Features

  • For use with liquid-tight conduit fittings use WAQ-CN38 silicone bushing set, compatible with McMaster 9106K41.

  • If gas-tight seal is required between the base and the duct use 2 each of McMaster 2418T143

  • To extend air sampling nose up to 12” into the duct use WAQ-ALTB, cut to length. (not shown)

  • Use mounting template WAQ-DCTMNT for proper location of holes for air sampling holes.

Mounting Procedure

1. Identify Ideal Location

  • Keep close to power source to limit electrical run if possible.

  • Locate in clean return or supply stream // avoid mixing plenum for best results.

  • Allow for enough space to remove cover and service WAQ.

2. Start with template. There will be one (1) delivered per building with duct mounts.

  • Drill self-tapping screws into (4) corners. Locations match actual duct mount.

  • Drill pilot hole for duct penetration. Use a 1/8” drill bit. Steel bushings are inlaid into template, there is no risk of damaging template.

3. Bore out duct penetration hole. Using a step bit is recommended.

  • Step slowly

  • Drill hole down to 7/8" OD

4. Slide duct mount in through holes. Make sure that inserts have

5. From inside, install scoops.

6. Mount in WAQ with back-plate installed.

7. Connect antenna

8. Power

  • In MERs Chief Engineers may require electrical runs kept in conduit/liquid-tight.

  • Drill ½” or ¾” holes into bottom of duct mount enclosure to fit gland connections.

  • Can use BX cable OR liquid-tight [liquid-tight recommended].
