TM
Probe Pipe Fitting Installation
The instructions that follow are for installing the necessary fittings that will support the Focus TM
Probe flow meter. Figure 1 shows the components and may be used as a visual reference while installing
the fittings. The Focus
TM Probe must never be installed in a vertical position where debris or moisture is
likely to settle on the optics. When installing into horizontal runs, position the fittings so that the probe
will be inserted at the 3 o’clock position. (Refer to
Figure 8 ) Mounting the probe horizontally will
minimize window-cleaning maintenance. Ensure that there is sufficient room around the pipe to install
and remove the insertion probe.
1.1 Procedure – Installing Pipe Fittings
1. Choose the location in the pipe that you want to install the Focus TM Probe.
2. Install a Threadolet with a 1” NPT thread.
3. Apply an appropriate pipe sealant and thread the 1” to ¾” Adapter into the weldolet and tighten.
4. Apply an appropriate pipe sealant and, holding the Ball Valve so the mounting holes and lever
point away from the pipe, thread the ¾” Ball Valve on to the Adapter and tighten.
5. Turn the Ball Valve to the off position. (Handle perpendicular to Ball Valve as shown)
6. Slide the Safety Chain Ring over the threading of the Packing Gland.
7. Apply an appropriate pipe sealant and thread the ¾” NPT Packing Gland into the Ball Valve and
tighten.
