Silver Series
Installation Instructions
caution
• Silver Series meters have o-ring seals. Use with incompatible fluids
may cause o-rings to swell which may cause glass tube to fail.
• Serious property damage and great personal injury could occur as
the result of a meter misused or used in an unsuitable application.
cleaning
To minimize downtime, Silver Series metering tubes are designed
to be removed without uninstalling the flowmeter from the piping
system. Meter should be drained prior to maintenance.
Remove the shield from the frame by loosening the 4 shield screws
with a 3/16” hex wrench. Loosen the scale plate screws and remove
the scale plate. Loosen the tube retainer screws and pull the tube
retainer forward. Rotate the glass tube to loosen the o-ring seal. Care-
fully push the glass tube up until its bottom clears the inlet fitting.
Angle the bottom of the glass tube down and away from the frame.
Use caution. Pulling the glass tube at an extreme angle, or by exces-
sive force will cause the tube to break. Do not allow the float to fall.
Float damage may result in meter inaccuracy.
Inspect all parts for damage prior to re-assembly. Replacement of
o-rings during meter maintenance is recommended. O-rings should
be generously lubricated using a silicone based o-ring lubricant. Insert
the float and float stops into the glass tube. Make sure the orientation
of the float is correct prior to installing. Carefully slide glass tube as-
sembly onto top fitting at a slight angle and align with bottom fitting.
Secure the tube by pushing the tube retainer between the glass tube
and the upper fitting and tighten the screws. Replace the scale plate
making sure the reference line on the scale is aligned with the refer-
ence line on the glass tube. Re-install the front shield.
*Do not use cleaning agents that will damage float, tube or o-rings.
Meters should be cleaned with a mild soap solution. This will be an
effective cleaner of rust stains. Caution must be used so that materials
of construction are not damaged by cleaning solutions. Hard water
deposIts can be removed with 5% acetic acid solution (vinegar).
repair
Silver Series meters that require repair should be sent to the factory.

warning:
Pressure and temperature ratings are based on a study of the engi-
neering data for particular materials used in construction and on the
design of individual models. This information is supplemented by
destructive test results. Meters with stainless enclosures must never be
operated without shields securely in place. Meters exposed to difficult
environments such as those created by certain chemicals, excessive
vibration or other stress inducing factors could fail at or below the
suggested maximums. Never operate meters above pressure and
temperature maximums. It is strongly recommended that all meter
installations utilize an appropriate pressure relief valve and/or rupture
disc. The pressure settings and locations of these devices should be
such that meters cannot be over pressurized. Meter failure could
result in damage to equipment and serious personal injury. Always
use suitable safety gear, including OSHA approved eye protection
when working around meters in service. We are happy to pass along
chemical compatibility information that has been published by the
manufacturer’s of raw materials used in our products; however, this
information should not be construed as a recommendation made by
King Instrument Company, Inc. for a specific application.
