FLOW METER LIMITED WARRANTY
Meters are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship to the original user for a period of thir-
teen (13) months from the date of factory shipment, provided the meter is installed, operated and maintained
in accordance with King Instrument Company’s instructions and recommendations.
This warranty does not apply if failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following: improper handling,
improper storage, abuse, unsuitable application of the product, lack of reasonable and necessary mainte-
nance, use exceeding suggested pressure and temperature maximums, improper packaging for return, or
repairs made or attempted to be made by anyone other than King Instrument Company, Inc.
KING INSTRUMENT COMPANY, INC. MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE FITNESS OF ITS PRODUCTS FOR SPECIFIC
APPLICATIONS.
This warranty is valid for the original end-user only and does not apply to products that have been damaged
or modified. This warranty is non-transferrable and is limited to replacement or repair. The liability of King In-
strument Company arising out of its supply of the products, or their use, shall not in any case exceed the cost
of correcting defects in the products as set forth above.
THIS WARRANTY IS A LIMITED WARRANTY AND SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHICH EXIST BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION OR FACE

THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.
1) Inspect meter for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Report any damage to the container to the freight carrier immediately.
2) Make sure your pressure, temperature, fluid and other requirements
are compatible with the meter including o-rings (where applicable).
3) Select a suitable location for installation to prevent excess stress on
the meter which may result from:
a) Misaligned pipe.
b) The weight of related plumbing.
c) “Water Hammer” which is most likely to occur when flow is
suddenly stopped as with quick closing solenoid operated
valves. (If necessary, a surge chamber should be installed. This will
also be useful in pressure start-up situations.)
d) Thermal expansion of liquid in a stagnated or valve
isolated system.
e) Instantaneous pressurization which will stress the meter and
could result in tube failure.
NOTE: In closed thermal transfer or cooling systems, install the
meter in the cool side of the line to minimize meter expansion and
contraction and possible fluid leaks at the threaded connections.
4) Handle the meter carefully during installation.
a) Use an appropriate amount of teflon tape on external pipe
threads before making connections. Do not use paste or stick type
thread sealing products.
5) Install the meter vertically with the inlet port at the bottom.
6) Meters with stainless steel fittings will support several feet of pipe
as long as significant vibration or stress resulting from misaligned pipe
are not factors.
ADDITIONALLY:
• 7100 Series meters are designed for vertical installation only. (Inlet at
bottom, Outlet at top)
• Do not remove or adjust the screws on the side of the indicator
housing. These screws were positioned during factory calibration
and represent the zero adjustment. If these screws are loosened and
the indicator housing is moved, the scale will be out of accuracy.
Caution: Zero is factory set when meter is calibrated. DO NOT
loosen screws that fasten indicator housing to meter body. If
indicator housing is moved, the meter will need to be calibrated.
