Floor
Ceiling Please use the following steps to guide you through
the installation.
1. The flowmeter must be installed in an exact
vertical plane to ensure accuracy.
2. Use PTFE tape (or similar) on all pipe threads.
Acrylic and other exotic plastics cannot
tolerate PVC Glue and/or pipe dope. Even
fumes can cause crazing. If you are installing
your flowmeter to a glued pipe installation,
install the flowmeter after all glued fittings are
dried and lines are purged of all fumes.
Never hold the meter with pliers or like tools.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!
3. Wall, floor and ceiling mounts are to be carefully
aligned and sturdy. Wall, floor and ceiling
supports are recommended as needed. This
is to maintain pipe alignment and to prevent
vibration.
4. Valves - Avoid a system that will impose a
sudden burst of flow to the meter. Such a
burst will cause the float to impact the float
stop with destructive force which may damage the flowmeter. Solenoid valves, or other quick
opening valves cannot be used unless meter is protected against sudden bursts of flow. (If
necessary a surge chamber should be installed. This will also be useful in high pressure start-
up situations) The flowmeter is not warrantied against this type of damage.
5. Maximum working pressure not to exceed recommended psi at fluid temperature (see
Temperature Vs. Pressure chart).
Caution: Follow these steps to avoid failure
Danger: Wear eye protection when installing or
removing the flowmeter.
