Standpipe, Model 3578, 10ft

The Model 3578 Standpipe Tower is a 10 foot aluminum tower for use with the ALERT Flood Warning System or Aquamet 3500 Weather Station. Simple and strong, the 12 inch diameter pipe offers little wind resistance and serves as protection to electrically sensitive system components. Additionally, the 3578 provides elevation for a system antenna, tipping bucket and other sensor options keeping the equipment out of reach of vandals and animals as well as providing increased measurement accuracy. The bulk of the tower is empty and random gunshots are not likely to cause serious damage.

The standpipe is installed vertically in a prepared hole approximately two feet below the ground level. Concrete is required around the base of the tower only if the soil is loose or sandy. When no concrete is used, the hole should be narrower to minimize the amount of disturbed soil at the sides of the tower. Equipment can be installed before or after the standpipe is erected.
