B. Piping Arrangement

It is strongly recommended that the typical piping arrangement shown in

Figure 2-1, be used when installing the meter. This piping arrangement
permits the meter to be isolated from the flow for servicing or cleaning.
The design of the GT1000 flowmeter allows the horizontal inlet and outlet
end fitting to rotate independently of each other simply by loosening the
two clamp bolts for each end fitting at the rear of the meter. Additionally
the various end fittings offer horizontal or vertical connections or a
combination of both.
