2” (51mm) 9-1/8” (231.8mm) 3.0 Installation 3.1 Installation Requirements Before beginning installation, review your system flow and pressure to ensure your F-450 is proper for your system parameters. Pipe Requirements: • The flow meter is designed to work best when installed in a perfectly vertical pipe system.
High pressure and temperature will damage the meter. (see temperature VS pressure chart) 4.0 Reading your F-450 Flow Meter Avoid imposing a sudden burst of flow to the meter. Solenoid valves may cause the float to impact the top float stop with destructive force. Always read float at top.
Locate nearest unions on piping to allow for removal of flow meter. The F-450 Flow Meter may also be removed by unscrewing the flow meter union nuts. Remove the flow meter and clean any debris in the flow meter. Use mild soap and a soft bristle brush.
