MOUNTING
MC-Series Gas Flow Controllers have holes on the bottom for mounting to flat
panels. See pages 50- 70.
Small valve controllers (MC-Series) can usually be mounted in any position.
Large valve controllers (MCR-Series) should be mounted so that the valve
cylinder is vertical and upright. Mounting a large valve controller in another
position increases the risk of leakage when the controller is being held closed
by the spring force.
No straight runs of pipe are required upstream or downstream of the controller.
