8.0 How To Install Your F-2000 Molded PVC Fitting (AT)
Note: Tee fittings are I.P.S. Pipe, Slip glue joints.
Step 1 Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
Step 2 Remove the F-2000 sensor from the tee fitting. Do not glue the Tee while the sensor is installed.
Step 3 Install the F-2000 tee fitting as you would any other plastic pipe solvent weld (glue) fitting. Do not use too
much glue. Excessive glue may create a disturbance in the flow stream which will effect the accuracy of
the meter.
Step 4 The F-2000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the vertical (twelve
o'clock) position on horizontal pipe is recommended (see figure 5). Mounting anywhere around the
diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times.
See figure 3, 4 and 5.
Step 5 Install the F-2000 sensor. Be sure two O-rings are located on the sensor body. The O-rings have been
lubricated at the factory with silicone oil. Push the sensor assembly into the saddle with a twisting motion.
The notch on the sensor body must fit into the slot on the saddle. Be sure the sensor is fully inserted into
the saddle. HAND TIGHTEN the black union nut.
