Manchester 90° OHM Sender for LP Gas Tanks G12846 — Snap-On Resistance Level Sensor, Side‑Mount Compact

This compact, purpose-built sender from Manchester Tank offers a simple way to monitor liquid petroleum (LP) levels using an OHM (resistance) output. Engineered to integrate with compatible gauges and control systems, the G12846 is a factory-model component intended for propane and similar pressure-vessel applications. It’s produced to match Manchester’s standards for fit and function and is made in China.

How does the G12846 90° OHM sender measure tank level?

The sender uses a resistance-based float mechanism to translate liquid level into an OHM value that compatible gauges read. As the float moves with changing propane levels, the internal wiper changes circuit resistance proportionally, giving a continuous electrical signal for level indication.

• 90° orientation suited for side-mount or angled access ports
• Resistance (OHM) output compatible with standard propane gauges
• Snap-on assembly simplifies mechanical and electrical hookup
• Designed to work with Manchester LP tank fittings and interfaces

What are the installation and compatibility considerations?

Installation is intended to be straightforward thanks to the snap-on assembly, but proper matching of sender orientation and gauge type is essential. Verify that your tank’s access port and existing wiring correspond to a 90° OHM sender before replacing or upgrading a unit.

• Mount in the tank access intended for a 90° sender to ensure correct float movement
• Confirm gauge or control system accepts OHM (resistance) input ranges used by the sender
• Follow Manchester’s recommended wiring and sealing practices to avoid leaks or signal faults
• Use appropriate thread sealant or gasket as specified for LP service

What are the product features and construction details?

The G12846 is built to deliver reliable level feedback in a compact form factor, with a snap-on design for rapid replacement. While manufactured in China, it adheres to Manchester Tank’s component specifications for use with their LP pressure vessels.

• Model number: G12846 — specific to Manchester Tank remote 90° OHM sender
• Remote 90° configuration for angled access and clearance-sensitive installations
• Snap-on assembly reduces installation time and mechanical complexity
• Designed for use with Manchester LP tanks and compatible gauge electronics

Who is this for? The Manchester Tank G12846 90° OHM sender is aimed at technicians, fleet managers, and RV or industrial equipment owners who need a reliable replacement or upgrade part for resistance-based level monitoring in LPG systems. It suits anyone maintaining Manchester-brand tanks or retrofitting systems that require a compact, angled sender with a simple snap-on installation, provided the gauge electronics accept OHM outputs and installation follows all propane safety procedures.
