This electrically heated Pitot Tube is designed for use on aircraft to provide an accurate source of impact pressure for use with Air Speed Indicators under icing conditions. The Pitot Tube is mounted in standard streamline cross section tubing of 1½" nominal diameter. Four holes should be drilled in the streamlined tube. The nose of the pitot tube shall point forward (to the front of the airplane) and "Top" marked on the tube must be on top. No maintenance is required other than a periodic check of the electrical connections and a cleaning out of the tube with air pressure after disconnecting from lines. The check of the electrical connections should include a thorough cleaning of the spigot from which the pressure tube and electrical terminals protrude. Any corrosion, dirt, or moisture should be completely removed to prevent short circuiting of the heating element. This is an assembly that comes with the hardware for installation.

Designed for mounting in 3/4" O.D. x .049" wall aluminum tubing (not furnished). Machined from solid aluminum. Polyethylene fitting for 1/4" I.D. hose included. This Falcon Gauge Pitot Tube has been used on many different types of aircraft for many years. It is now available for experimental aircraft.
Heated Material: Stainless Steel. Weight: approx. 6.5 oz./195 g. The Pitot Pal is a precision machined adapter that is installed in the nose of the aircraft by simply drilling a 1/2? diameter hole, inserting the adapter, and locking in place by a nut on the backside. The adapter has a barbed fitting to which the airspeed indicator tubing is attached. The aluminum Pitot Tube slides into the adapter and locks in place with a press fit. The added benefit to this is that the Pitot tube can be easily removed at a fly-in or similar event to prevent it from getting bent. Deluxe kit (pictured) includes tubing & a fitting to connect Pitot Pal to the airspeed indicator.
