In-Line Flowmeter
This flowmeter was designed to be easily
installed. Please read this Instruction guideline
before installing your flowmeter.v
Page 2 F-430
Installation Guideline
1 The flowmeter must be installed in a
vertical plane to ensure accuracy.
Misalignment may damage the flowmeter 3
and also may cause the o-ring seals to leak.
2 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 1
from the system. 2
3 Mounts and supports must be sturdy
enough to support the plumbing and
prevent vibration. Vibration and heavy
loads will damage the meter.
4 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 3
force.
5 The Maximum fluid temperature is

dependant on the working pressure. High
pressure and temperature with damage the
meter. (see temperature VS pressure chart)
