3) Confirm upstream mark is aligned with flow and hand

tighten compression fitting. Refer to other side of tag for

tightening instructions.

2) Insert flow meter until bottom of electronics case touches

top of depth gage.

Depth Gage

1) Pierce insulation (if present) until gage tip touches pipe.

3) Confirm upstream mark is aligned with flow and hand

tighten compression fitting. Refer to other side of tag for

tightening instructions.

2) Insert flow meter until bottom of electronics case touches

top of depth gage.

1) Pierce insulation (if present) until gage tip touches pipe.

4) Once the compression fitting is tight, position top and bottom

locking collars as shown. Tighten both to complete installation.

1) Insert the meter as described on the other side of this tag.

2) Tighten the nut until the stem will not turn by hand or move axially in the fitting.

3) Mark the nut at the 6 o’clock position.

4) While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut one and one quarter (1 ¼)

1) Pierce insulation (if present) until gage tip touches pipe.

2) Insert flow sensor until bottom of electronics case touches top of

depth gage.

3) Confirm upstream mark is aligned with flow and hand tighten

TIGHTENING THE COMPRESSION FITTING

1) Insert the sensor as described above.

2) Tighten the nut until the stem will not turn by hand or move axially in the fitting.

3) Mark the nut at the 6 o’clock position.

4) While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut one and one quarter

(1¼) turns to the 9 o’clock position.

CAUTION

The compression fitting must be tightened as described in the following procedure. Failure to do

will likely result in fluid leaks and/or permanent damage to the flow sensor stem.

!

WARNING

SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When inserting, removing or adjusting the sensor

position, be sure to hold the enclosure firmly by hand before SLOWLY loosening the

compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the

sensor from the pipe causing serious injury. The hand effort required to hold the sensor will be 0.2

times the pipe pressure.
