KMC Controls HFO-0015 Tube
The KMC Controls HFO-0015 is a professional-grade 4-inch static pick-up tube engineered for precise pressure monitoring in high-demand HVAC and industrial environments. This aluminum pitot tube features a straight 4" insertion length, making it a critical component for technicians measuring duct static pressure or liquid levels in tanks and reservoirs. Designed for seamless integration with differential pressure switches like the KMC CSE-1102 and CSE-1103, the HFO-0015 ensures minimal turbulence during air sampling, providing the stable readings necessary for accurate VAV system balancing and blower motor optimization.
Constructed for long-term reliability in harsh mechanical rooms, this static pressure probe utilizes a robust mounting plate for secure attachment to ductwork. Its 1/4" OD design allows for straightforward installation, requiring only a standard drill opening and 3/8" tubing for port connection. Whether you are troubleshooting airflow restrictions, verifying total external static pressure (TESP), or monitoring residential heating equipment, this HVAC static pressure pickup delivers the industrial-strength performance required to maintain peak system efficiency and prevent premature component wear.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- Precision Sampling: Optimized straight-tube design minimizes air turbulence for highly accurate static pressure readings.
- Durable Construction: High-quality aluminum build provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress in industrial ducting.
- Simplified Installation: Integrated mounting plate and 1/4" OD sizing allow for rapid field deployment and secure 4-screw mounting.
- Versatile Application: Fully compatible with KMC CSE series switches and standard manometers for comprehensive airflow diagnostics.
- Low Maintenance: Fixed-position sensing hardware requires no routine calibration or internal maintenance once properly aligned with airflow.
- Where is the best location to install the HFO-0015 for accurate TESP? For supply-side measurements, install the probe downstream of the coil but upstream of the first branch duct. For return-side, place it between the filter and the blower to measure the true restriction the fan must overcome.
- What size tubing is required for the pneumatic connection? The 1/4" OD tube is designed to connect to standard 3/8" (9mm) ID flexible tubing, ensuring a leak-free path to your differential pressure transmitter or switch.
- Does orientation matter during installation? Yes. To ensure accurate sensing, the pick-up tube must be turned so the sensing opening directly faces the airflow (upstream) for total pressure or remains perpendicular for static-only sensing.
