Installation Guideline
Caution:
Follow these instructions to
avoid failure.
Danger:
Wear eye protection when
installing or removing flowmeter.
1. Misalignment will damage the meter!
Flowmeter must be installed in an exact
vertical plane to ensure accuracy. Be
certain of proper plumbing alignments.
Misalignment may cause the o-ring
seals to leak. The meterbody material
can be damaged by UV rays. Do not
install in direct sunlight.
2. Pipe dope and glue will damage
the meter!
Use only Teflon® tape on the threaded
adapters. Polysulfone meter body and
fittings cannot tolerate PVC Glue
and/or pipe dope. Even fumes can
cause severe damage. If you are
installing your flowmeter to a glued
pipe configuration, install the flowmeter
after all glued fittings are dried and
lines are purged of all fumes. Never
hold the meter body with pliers or like
tools. Union nuts should be hand tightened only. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN!
3. Vibration and heavy loads will damage the meter!
Wall, floor and ceiling mounts and supports must be carefully aligned
with the meter body and sturdy enough to support the plumbing and
prevent vibration. Never allow the flowmeter to support the weight of
related piping.
4. Solenoid valves will damage the meter!
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. Solenoid valves, or other quick opening valves cannot be used
unless meter is protected against sudden bursts of flow.
5. High pressures and temperatures will damage the meter!
The maximum acceptable temperature and pressure is interdependent.
The maximum acceptable working pressure is dependant on the actual
fluid temperature. The maximum acceptable fluid temperature is depend-
ant on the actual working pressure. (see Temperature Vs. Pressure chart).
