Hi all,

My team and I have been posed with an interesting question today. We're not mechanical engineers so we're looking for some input and guidance.

We have a gas detector provided with a direct duct mount kit (Det Tronics 007525-005, horizontal mount for PIRECL sensor) that looks like a rectangular flange to be mounted directly onto the ducting top (or bottom) wall.

Now, unfortunately, the gas detector is to be installed on a 14" VTOC duct (total organic carbon exhausts from different zones) so naturally, this rectangular mounting kit is not going to work.

Is the only solution to manufacture and weld in a custom-made shoe-branch onto the duct that will have a counterflange of the same size so that the mounting kit (and the sensor) can be installed on it?

Again, it may be a very trivial issue, but it's better to be safe than sorry and ask in advance.

Thanks a million guys in advance!
