7.0 Installing The Molded In-Line Fitting (MI)
All molded in-line (MI) fittings have male American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (MPT).
Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
Install the F-2000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned
properly. Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or
fitting damage. Do not over tighten the fittings. Use PTFE tape sealant only on the adapter threads.
The F-2000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the twelve o'clock position on
horizontal pipe is recommended. 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.
Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured. The F-1000 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.

! The F-2000 can accurately measure flow from either direction provided the minimum inlet and outlet conditions
are met. Section 3.1
