assured when the fl ow meter is installed in conditions with minimal turbulence; between two lengths of hose with the same size
couplings as the fl ow meter. Avoid locations where the fl ow meter or adjacent hose are used as a step.

Turbulence can cause inaccurate readings. Installing the fl ow meter adjacent to turbulence
causing plumbing like elbows, partially gated valves, eductors, and fl at adapters is not
recommended. The best accuracy is assured when the fl ow meter is paired between two sections
of straight hose.
Reverse installation will result in incorrect readings and will damage the device over time. Always
ensure the FLOW arrows on the device point in the direction of fl ow.
