Installation Guideline
- The flowmeter must be installed in a vertical plane to ensure accuracy. Misalignment may damage the flowmeter and also may cause the o-ring seals to leak.
- Use only PTFE tape on the threaded adapters. Pipe dope and glue will damage the polysulfone meter body and fittings. Or install the flowmeter after all glued fittings have dried and fumes have been purged from the system.
- Mounts and supports must be sturdy enough to support the plumbing and prevent vibration. Vibration and heavy loads will damage the meter.
- Avoid imposing a sudden burst of flow to the meter. Solenoid valves will damage the meter. Such a burst will cause the float to impact the top float stop with destructive force.
- The Maximum fluid temperature is dependant on the working pressure. High pressure and temperature with damage the meter. (see temperature VS pressure chart)
