Always handle FlowtraMag Meters by the
union nuts or flanges, NOT the sensor head.
Pump/Valve
Vertical Pipe Runs
To ensure pipe is flowing full with some back pressure, it is highly recommended that the fluid flows upward.
3 x I.D.
Gravity and Discharge Lines
It is recommended to install a u-trap to ensure the pipe remains full at all times, and to minimize air bubbles.
A vacuum breaker may be required downstream of the FlowtraMag to ensure pipe doesn't drain and fill with air.
