Badger Meter QuikSert - Manual (Page 8)

INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, the flow meter should be checked internally for foreign material and to ensure the turbine rotor spins
freely . Fluid lines should also be checked and cleared of all debris .
The flow meter must be installed with the flow arrow, etched on the exterior of the meter body, pointing in the direction of
fluid flow . Though the meter is designed to function in any position, it is recommended, where possible, to install horizontally
with the conduit adapter facing upward . Thread a magnetic pickup (Blancett model B111109 or equivalent) into the conduit
adapter completely finger tight without forcing . Secure with a lock nut if supplied . Install conduit or other fittings suitable for
the installation area onto the conduit adapter hub on the flow meter .
The liquid being measured should be free of any large particles that may obstruct rotation of the rotor . If particles are present,
a mesh strainer should be installed upstream before operation of the flow meter .

Table 1: Strainer mesh installation details
The preferred plumbing setup is one containing a bypass line ( Figure 4 ) that allows meter inspection and repair without
interrupting flow . If a bypass line is not used, it is important that all control valves be located downstream of the flow meter
( Figure 5 ) .
PRESSURE IN EXCESS OF ALLOWABLE RATING MAY CAUSE THE HOUSING TO BURST AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.
DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED BY STRIKING AN EMPTY METER WITH A HIGH VELOCITY FLOW STREAM.
