6.0 Installing The Machined In-line Fitting (PI)
The machined in-line fittings consist of a meter body, two pipe adapter fittings (inlet and outlet), and two half union
nuts. Pipe adapters are supplied with female American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT). The
adapters are secured to the meter body with half union nuts and sealed with Viton O-rings.
! Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
! The F-2000 can accurately measure flow from either direction provided the minimum inlet and outlet conditions
are met. Section 3.1
! Install the F-2000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Because the F-2000 uses half union nut style
connections, the adapters can be installed on the piping system first and then secured to the meter body with the
unions.
! 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.
! Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned properly. Improper alignment the fittings will put stress on the
adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage.
! Do not over tighten the fittings. Hand tighten only.
! Use PTFE tape sealant only on the adapter threads. Do not use pipe dope or glue.
! Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured. The F-2000 is not designed to support the weight of
related piping. Improperly supported pipes will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or
fitting damage.
