STYLE 3A



  Spring-Loading "A" Series Assemblies
1) Sandelius Style 3A - Element with Insulated Leads.
Intended exclusively for installations where the transition area is protected inside a thermowell, protecting tube, nipple or terminal head and is not subjected to mechanical stress. (Normally ordered as a replacement element. Available in 0.188" dia. and larger only.)
2) If spring-loading is desired insert an "S" in front of the assembly style designation (e.g. S3A). Standard Sandelius springs are 2" long high temperature inconel swage type springs. These adjustable springs can be forced to slide up or down the sheath for accurate positoning in the field. Testing has proven that these springs will not slip in service even when subjected to temperatures over 1500ºF.
3) When spring-loading either 1A or 3A Style assemblies it is good practice to loop the conductors before attaching them to the terminal block. This loop provides the slack necessary to allow for up and down travel of the sheath.
