Page 7
1.4 ADDITIONAL REQUIRED HARDWARE
All ONICON insertion type meters can be installed and removed via
a 1” or larger full port ball valve without system shutdown. The
terms “Standard” and “Hot Tap” refer to the installation method of
the isolation valve kit only.
Standard Installation Hardware: For new construction or
scheduled shutdown, once kit is installed, the flow meter can
be installed or removed without system shutdown.
Hot Tap Installation Hardware: For applications which require the
access hole in the pipe to be drilled through the valve using a
wet tap drilling machine while the hydronic system is
pressurized and operating.
NOTE: Installation hardware materials vary greatly based on pipe material, pipe size and
standard vs. hot tap versions.
