SYSTEM INFORMATION
System Considerations (continued)
The meter and accessories must remain full of product at all times. This will ensure the meter and
accessories will have a longer service life.
An easy way to accomplish this is to put the meter and accessories in the line below the piping centerline.
The meter and accessories should be installed in a bypass loop below the centerline with block valves
upstream and down stream.
Note ————————————————————————————————————————
Any portion of the pipe system that might isolate or block flow must be provided with pressure relief to
prevent damage from thermal expansion or overpressurization.

are not followed.
Consult with your local fire department and state and local regulations to make sure you are
adequately prepared for the level of hazard present. This may require special tools such as non-
sparking screwdrivers, wrenches, etc., or restriction of power equipment.
