MOUNTING CONFIGURATIONS FOR THE ACCURATE TOOL COMPANY’S (ATCO) INSERTABLE CORROSION COUPON HOLDERS, INJECTION
ATOMIZERS, AND SAMPLER / QUILLS.
CORROSION COUPON HOLDERS: ADD 12” (MODELS MM15HT & MM50) to (“A” + “H’) DIMENSIONS (DO NOT SUBTRACT COUPON LENGTH)
ADD 8” (MODELS LP200HT, LP750HT, & M-1) to (“A” + “H”) DIMENSIONS (DO NOT SUBTRACT COUPON LENGTH)
ATOMIZERS, SAMPLERS / QUILLS: ADD 14” (MODELS MM-15HT & MM50) to “A” DIMENSION.
1) Loosen the 5/8” rod / probe locking bolt and push the rod / probe through the end of
the holder and attach coupon or atomizer nozzle.
2) Retract the probe or rod to just inside the bottom of the holder and tighten the 5/8” lock
bolt.
3) Measure from the top face of the pipeline isolation valve (a full bore ball or gate valve)
to the desired zone within the pipeline.
4) Transfer this measurement to the exposed rod / probe and mark with a permanent
marker. For flat coupon holders, mark the rod adapter with the direction of flow against
the narrow side of the coupon (Figure 2).
5) Attach the MM-15 or MM-50 to the process isolation valve (Figure 1).
SHORTCUT (coupon holders only): Insert the coupon holder to the bottom of the pipe. Lightly touch
the coupon on the bottom then retract it approximately 1/4” (3/4 turn on the hand crank counter
clockwise) and make a permanent mark on the rod at the top base of the holder (Figure 2).
6) Models MM-15HT and MM-50HT (with packing glands):
a) Once the unit is firmly affixed to the isolation valve, and the bleeder valve
is closed, slowly open the isolation valve to apply process pressure to the unit.
b) *The graphoil packing will require tightening to stop leaks. Loosen the packing
assembly lock bolt (1/4”-20) and turn the body slowly clock wise until no leak is
present.
7) Close isolation valve and attach insertion tool!
*CAUTION: Over tightening the graphoil packing puts friction on the rod / probe
requiring more force to insert and prevents a smooth travel during retraction.

INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE SPECIAL HP TOOL FOR INSERTION
OF THE MODEL MM-15 AND MODEL MM-50
1) With the process isolation valve closed, turn the hand crank counter
clockwise to move the draw bar to the retracted position of the coupon holder
or atomizer / quill.
2) Position the brass swivel mounting nut on the base of the tool where the slot
is open. (Figure 3)
3) Slide the slot over the rod/probe of the MM-15 / MM-50 and tighten the swivel
nut on the adjacent male threads of the MM-15 / MM-50.
4) Adjust the draw bar position with the hand crank until the rod adapter threads
are exposed through the draw bar.
5) Remove the 5/8” nut from the storage post (Special HP Tool only) on the top
of the tool.
6) Thread the 5/8” nut onto the rod/probe adapter and tighten. (Figure 4)
7) Slowly open the process isolation valve. *Note leaks may be present around
the graphoil packing (if applicable).
8) With a firm grip on the hand crank, loosen the rod / probe locking bolt and
turn the hand crank clockwise to insert to the desired depth (viewing the
permanent mark ,made in the previous step, through the tool base slot).
9) Tighten the rod / probe locking bolt. NOTE: 35 ft lbs of Torque will Hold a 3/8”
Diameter Rod in Place Against 7500 psi Process Pressure.
10) With tool attached, loosen the packing gland lock bolt and turn the packing
gland assembly clock wise until no leak is present. Tighten the packing gland
assembly lock bolt.
11) Remove the tool and attach safety cap or safety chain. (Figure 5)

INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE SPECIAL HP TOOL FOR RETRACTION
OF THE MODEL MM-15 AND MODEL MM-50
1) Turn the hand crank counter clockwise to move the draw bar to the fully retracted
position of the rod / probe (measurement required).
2) Remove the locking collet assembly from the draw bar. CAUTION: Collet must be
reinstalled with the correct side up. The top is marked with a dot.
3) Position the brass swivel mounting nut on the base of the tool where the slot is
open.
4) Slide the slots of the mounting swivel nut, draw bar, and top bar (top bar may
have an optional support tube) over the rod / probe of the MM-15 / MM-50 and
tighten the swivel nut on the adjacent male threads of the MM-15 / MM-50.
5) Attach the locking collet assembly to the draw bar and tighten (for multiple draw
bar travels on extended length rods/probes merely loosen the lock bolt each
pass).
• With the locking collet 5/8” bolt tight* against the rod/probe, and the locking bolt
tight* on the MM-15/MM-50, slowly open the process isolation valve. * NOTE: 35
ft lbs of Torque will Hold a 3/8” Diameter Rod in Place Against 7500 psi Process
Pressure.
7) With a hand on the tool crank handle, loosen the rod / probe locking 5/8”
bolt and turn the hand crank clockwise to insert to the desired depth (permanent
mark made in the previous step).
8) For the final insertion stroke, tighten the draw bar locking collet onto the 3/8”rod
adapter.
9) Tighten the rod / probe locking bolt and remove tool.
10) Attach safety cap or safety chain.
