SMARTFLOW
®
IceCube™ Flowmeter
1/4" thru 3/4"NPT and BSPP
Installation and Operating Instructions
General
The Smartflow small flowmeter provides visual indication of flow through
a clear polysulfone viewing body. The vane indicator is physically pushed
by the liquid indicating the flow rate printed on the viewing body. Available
options:
• Flow Rate in gallons per minute (gpm) or liters per minute (lpm)
• Temperature Gauge (Dual Scale)
• Pressure Gauge (Dual Scale 30 psi, 60 psi, 100 psi unfilled, or 100 psi
liquid-filled)
• Quick disconnect fittings (NPT threads 1/2" or less)

Cleaning
Debris in the circulating system may cause the sensing
vane to stick or discolor the inside of the clear plastic
body. Contact Burger & brown Engineering for replace-
ment parts or repair service. Clean the flow meter as
follows:
1. Remove the screw in each corner.
2. Remove the two end caps.
3. Remove the sensing vane from the body by push-
ing gently against the back of the vane.
4. Clean the body with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Novus #2 plastic polish may be used. Do not clean
with acetone. Do not clean with abrasives such as
scouring powder, sandpaper or emery cloth which
will scratch the clear finish.
5. Remove the torsion spring and hinge pin. Wipe
clean with a soft cloth or paper towel. Do not
lubricate the spring or hinge pin.
6. Examine the o-rings and replace if they are hard,
brittle or flattened. Add a thin layer of Parker
Super-O-Lube or equivalent to the o-rings before
replacing them. Do not use petroleum-based lubri-
cants on EPDM o-rings.
7. Re-assemble parts in reverse order of disassembly.
Do not over-tighten the screws as this may crack
the viewing body.
