Installation & Mounting
Installing a SapSpy hub comes down to two things: picking a spot for it and running a vacuum line back to your releaser. Neither is complicated — here's how the install goes.
Where to Mount the Hub#
The hub is waterproof, so it doesn't have to live inside the pump house. I'd say half of them, if not more, are completely in the open — mine's completely in the open. Even the USB cable screws into the bottom, so it stays waterproof when it's plugged in.
Hooking Up Vacuum Monitoring#
The hub has a 5/16" barbed fitting on the bottom. Just run 5/16 line from the hub back to your mechanical releaser. We include a 5/16-to-quarter-inch NPT adapter already, and most releasers have that fitting there — basically it goes right where your existing vacuum gauge is.
FAQs
You either replace an existing fitting or drill and tap a new one. The included 5/16-to-1/4" NPT adapter matches the port most releasers already have — the same spot your existing vacuum gauge sits.
We recommend taking it in during the off-season rather than leaving it out there all year long — we've had lightning strikes, rodents, and other crazy things out there.
