Product Manual

Always remember to sanitize and clean your Pipe-Mic II after every use. It is
important to make sure that you clean the wheel and main body thoroughly
so as to avoid cross contamination. From our facility, we put anti-seize on
the thumb screws to ensure smooth operation and to prevent binding of the
screws. As your Pipe-Mic II is used, we strongly recommend that you either
apply more anti-seize, grease or at the very least spray some WD-40 on the
screw itself to prevent corrosion. This is important to extend the life of your
Pipe-Mic II and to ensure smooth operation.
Always check the calibration of your rod!! Bent or worn out rods can cause
inaccurate measurements. Worn out rods should be replaced to ensure the
highest amount of precision and accuracy in your measurements. Optional
parts and accessories sold separately. See ChrisNik.com or your preferred
ChrisNik dealer for parts and pricing.
Swapping Two Foot Arm for the
Three Foot Arm
We also have a three foot arm,
(Part #1736ARM) SOLD SEPARATELY,
for those larger diameter manholes that our two foot arm
cannot reach. To use, just swap the two foot arm with the
three foot arm by removing the shoulder bolt and the offset
hole snap pin on the body of the Pipe-Mic II
®
. Then remove
the two foot arm and replace it with the three foot arm. Place
the new replacement snap pin, provided, in place of the bolt
and place the offset hole snap pin in either the “ZERO VERT.
OFFSET” hole or in the “3’ ARM w/1’ VERT. OFFSET” hole and
your three foot arm is ready for use.
If your Pipe-Mic II
®
already has two snap pins (instead
of a shoulder bolt and a snap pin), just pull both pins
and replace the two foot arm with the three foot arm.
MEASURING A PIPE
If you want to measure the diameter of a pipe coming into
a manhole, simply set your arm to any position that gives
you the best access to the pipe. Place the wheel of the
Pipe-Mic II on invert of pipe. Then lift the rod straight up
and take your measurement, once the wheel makes contact
with the top of the pipe. Add 0.33 to your measurement and
this will be your pipe size. The wheel on your Pipe-Mic II is
0.33 or 4” diameter. (Keep in mind, flex in your rod can cause
variations in measurement.)
Be sure to remove and
discard this shoulder bolt.
Replace with provided
snap pin.
