Siemens ST-50 — 5 ft notched steel sampling tube (P/N 500-649712) for Siemens air duct monitoring housings.
A duct housing only samples the air its inlet tube reaches, so the tube is matched to duct width rather than cut to taste. Each ST length is drilled with a different number and size of intake holes, and Siemens states that only the specific tube for the duct width may be used. The ST-50 is the size for ducts 3.0 ft to 5.0 ft wide on FDBZ492, -R, -HR and -PR housings.
- Duct width range 3.0 ft to 5.0 ft; siblings are ST-10, ST-25 and ST-100
- Steel tube, air intake holes drilled the entire length
- May be cut down, but must span at least 80% of the duct width
- Needs support on the far side of the duct, as all tubes over 3.0 ft do
Sampling tubes are ordered separately from the housing. The red inlet stopper and the short outlet tube ship in the housing installation kit, not with this tube. For a non-standard duct, order the next longest tube and cut it down — never fit a shorter one.
