EX80 Series PVC meter tees are supplied with some upstream straight pipe. The length provided may be less caution: Never remove the u-clip than ten diameters upstream and five downstream.

As with any other flow sensor, there is a rate below which the EX80-series sensor cannot read. Check the If the EX80 Series meter is ordered with a saddle or wel- flow rate table below for the minimum flow rate detectable dolet fitting, find your K-factor in the chart below.
