Default PANEL PLUMBING

I am re-installing my instrument panel and re-plumbing
it.

I have a Winter ASI, Tasman Vario, a PZL mechanical
vario and a Winter altimeter. I do not have TE Probe
(YET)...Does anyone out there have a simple diagram
on the plumbing? I have searched and cannot find one...BTW
the ship is a superbly restored Schreder RS15 V tail
15 meter. Once plumbed and wired all I have is W&B
and Annual then fly...any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm told that it is not a good idea to mix a capacity vario (PZL) and a
pressure sensing instrument (Tasman V.1000) on the same TE probe.

However, thinking back a way I didn't notice problems running a PZL and
an SDI C4 (pressure sensing) off the same fin-mounted TE probe in an
ASW-20.

That said, you could do a lot worse than read what Mike Borgelt has to
say about this. Go to http://www.borgeltinstruments.com, follow Articles
- Installation and then scroll down to "Good Practice Hints":Pneumatic.
This is about 2/3 of the way down the PDF file.

I currently have the SDI C4 installed with a Borgelt B.40 as backup
(both are pressure sensors) with the Tee junction in front of the panel
and a separate, rigid gust filter for each instrument. This works well.
