Inserting the Standard FTPA Buffer

1.
Inspect the pipe nozzle. Make sure it is free from dirt and rust. Use steel wool to clean the pipe nozzle face and
inside surfaces if necessary.
2.
Insert the buffer assembly into the nozzle.
3. Apply Copperslip, Molykote or equivalent anti-seize compound on the first several threads at both ends of each
stud.
4.
Insert one of the studs through the flanges. Make sure the stamped quality rating on the stud (e.g. B7) is facing
away from the meter body. Hand-tighten a washer and nut on each end of the stud. Make sure you leave an
equal number of threads exposed on each end of the stud.
