INSTALLATION

IP11x/21x Installation

Fitting Installation. IP11x/21x brass/SS adapters mate with a
1-1/2" female NPT pipe thread adapter fitting (2" for PVC). Any
fitting that provides the matching NPT female thread may be used.
Installation procedure compensates for fitting height differences.
Cut a minimum 1-3/4" hole in the pipe. If possible, measure the wall
thickness and write it down for use in depth setting. Then install the
threaded fitting (saddle, weldolet, etc.) on the pipe.
Meter Installation. Loosen the compression nut so that the adapter
slides freely. Pull the meter fully upward and finger-tighten the
compression nut. Using a thread sealant, install the adapter in the
pipe fitting. Do not overtighten. Now loosen the compression
nut, lower the meter to the appropriate depth setting (see diagram
and instructions that follow). Caution: Do not allow the meter to
fall into the pipe uncontrolled, as this may damage the meter.
Be sure flow is in the direction of the arrow on the housing. Fully
tighten compression nut.

IP15x/25x Installation

Hot tap' IP meters are designed to be installed and serviced without
depressurizing the pipe.
Fitting Installation. The IP15x and 25x adapters mate with a 2"
FNPT threaded fitting for compatibility with the 2" isolation valve.
Any fitting that provides matching NPT female thread may be used.
The installation procedure compensates for differences in fitting
height.
If initial installation is performed on an unpressurized pipe, cut a
minimum 1-3/4" hole in the pipe. If possible, measure the wall
thickness and write it down for use in depth setting. Then install the
threaded fitting (saddle, weldolet, etc.) on the pipe.
If it is necessary to do the initial installation under pressure, any
standard hot tap drilling machine with 2" NPT adapter, such as a
Transmate or a Mueller, can be used. Ordinarily, it is not necessary
to use an installation tool, since the small-diameter tube can be
controlled by hand at all but the highest pressures.
Meter Installation. Remove the sensor unit from the valve assembly.
Using a thread sealant, install the valve assembly on the pipe fitting.
If the initial installation is a pressure ("hot") tap, remove the 1-1/2"
x 2" adapter bushing at the back of the valve. Thread the tapping
machine on, open the valve, and tap using a minimum of 1-3/4" or
maximum 1-7/8" cutter. After retracting the machine and closing
the valve, reinstall the flow sensor. When the sensor is secure, open
the valve and adjust depth setting (see diagram and instructions that
follow). Be sure flow is in the direction of the arrow on the housing.
Tighten locking collar and compression nut fully.
