4.4 INSTALLING THE F-1000 MACHINED IN-LINE FITTING (PI)
F-1000 machined in-line fittings consist of a meter body, two pipe adapter fittings (inlet and outlet), and two
half union nuts. Pipe adapters are supplied with female American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT).
The adapters are secured to the meter body with half union nuts and sealed with Viton O-rings.
Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
Install the F-1000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Because the F-1000 uses half union nut style
connections, the adapters can be installed on the piping system first and then secured to the meter body with
the unions.
The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the twelve o'clock position
on horizontal pipe is recommended. Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable,
however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times. See figure 4, 5 and 6.
Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned properly. Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on
the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage.
Do not over tighten the fittings.
Use Teflon® tape sealant only on the adapter threads. Do not use pipe dope or glue.
Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured. The F-1000 is not designed to support the weight
of related piping. Improperly supported pipes will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause
leaking or fitting damage.

4.6 HOW TO INSTALL MOLDED PVC
TEE FITTINGS (TE)
Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
Remove the F-1000 sensor from the tee fitting. Do not glue the
TEE while the sensor is installed.
Install the F-1000 tee fitting as you would any other plastic
pipe solvent weld (glue) fitting. Do not use too much glue.
Excessive glue may create a disturbance in the flow stream
which will effect the accuracy of the meter.
The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of
pipe. Mounting at the twelve o'clock position on horizontal
pipe is recommended. Mounting anywhere around the diame-
ter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be
completely full of water at all times. See figure 4, 5 and 6.
Install the F-1000 sensor. Be sure two O-rings are located on
the sensor body. The O-rings have been lubricated at the
factory with silicone oil. Push the sensor assembly into the
saddle with a twisting motion. The notch on the sensor body
must fit into the slot on the saddle. Be sure the sensor is fully
inserted into the saddle. HAND TIGHTEN the union nut.

4.5 INSTALLING THE MOLDED IN-LINE FITTING (MI)
All molded in-line (MI) fittings have male American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (MPT).
Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1.
Install the F-1000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting. Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned
properly. Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause
leaking or fitting damage. Do not over tighten the fittings. Use Teflon® tape sealant only on the adapter
threads.
The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the twelve o'clock position
on horizontal pipe is recommended. Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable,
however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times. See figure 4, 5 and 6.
Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured. The F-1000 is not designed to support the weight
of related piping. Improperly supported pipes will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause
leaking or fitting damage.
