Mounting the Enclosure

You can mount the flow computer either directly to a manifold on the pipeline or indirectly on a
two-inch pipe or pole.
Direct mount installations use either a traditional mounting kit or a coplanar mounting kit. Indirect
mount installations use an inline mounting kit.
2.7.1

Bolting Considerations

If the flow computer installation requires assembly of a process flange, manifold, or flange
adapters, follow these assembly guidelines to ensure a tight seal for optimal performance
characteristics of the flow computer.
Only use bolts supplied with the flow computer or sold by Emerson Remote Automation Solutions
as spare parts. Refer to the figure for common flow computer assemblies with the bolt length
required for proper flow computer installation.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Ensure the area in which you perform this operation is non-hazardous.
Performing this operation in a hazardous area could result in an explosion.
Note
For all other manifolds, contact your Emerson Local Business Partner (LBP).
Bolts are typically carbon steel or stainless steel. Confirm the material by viewing the markings on
the head of the bolt and referencing the figure. If bolt material is not shown in the figure, contact
your local Emerson Remote Automation Solutions representative for more information.
