S5U Sender 5" Type

Wema's most versatile senders are the SSS/SSL, S3U, and S5U models. These single stainless steel senders typically have an NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) float, and differ only in their mounting methods.
SSS/SSL has a basic SAE 5-hole pattern, and typically mounts with gasket and screws; S3U has a 1.25" BSP threaded mount; S5U has a 1.5" NPT threaded mount.
These single stainless steel models can be used in water, gasoline, hydraulic oil, or diesel.

The S5U sensor has a float which rises and falls on the central shaft with the level of liquid in the tank.
The sensors are fully insulated to protect against dangerous electric currents inside the tanks.
This is an extremely important safety feature, because it protects against electrolytic corrosion, as well as the danger of an explosion when used with gasoline.

The mounting thread is 1-1/2" NPT, tapered male National Pipe Thread.
Retro-fit/replacement installations will generally use the existing mounting hardware.

For new installations, a user supplied 1-1/2" female NPT fitting will need to be mounted on the tank.

The sending unit length is measured from the top of the threads to the tip of the gauge.
It should be at least 1" less than the depth of a plastic tank, and 3/4" less than the depth of a metal tank.
Note: if the top of your metal tank flexes, deduct one (1) inch from the depth (like a plastic tank).

• For use with diesel, gasoline or water
• Availble in 1" increments from 4" to 60"
• Can be used with any Wema System dash gauge
• Sensor electrical reisitance range is 240 (empty tank) through 33 (full tank) Ohms (Standard Aftermarket)
• All 316 stainless steel
• Very easy to install
• Long term reliability under severe conditions
• Fisheries stocks most incremental lengths (inches); odd lengths can be special ordered
