Blue-White F-461 Polysulfone Molded - Manual (Page 2)

Pressure and temperature limits are inversely proportional. At the maximum suggested pressure the
temperature should approach 80°F / 26.7°C; at the maximum suggested temperature the pressure should
approach zero (0) psi. We cannot guarantee our flowmeters will not be damaged either at or below the
suggested limits simply because of many factors which influence meter integrity; stress resulting from
meter misalignment, damage due to excessive vibration and/or deterioration caused by contact with
certain chemicals as well as direct sunlight. These situations and others tend to reduce the strength of the
materials from which the meters are manufactured.

Caution: Follow These Tips to avoid Failure
Danger: Wear eye protection when installing or removing
flowmeter.
1. Polysulfone and other exotic plastics cannot tolerate
PVC Glue and/or pipe dope. Even fumes can cause
crazing.
2. If you are installing your flowmeter to a glued pipe
configuration, install flowmeter after all glued fittings
are dried and lines are purged of all fumes.
3. Use PTFE tape (or similar) for the flowmeters
threaded adapters.
4. Wall, floor and ceiling mounts are to be carefully
aligned and sturdy. Wall, floor and ceiling supports are
recommended as needed.
5. Hand tighten union nuts. No wrenches.
6. Valves - Avoid a system that will impose a sudden
burst of flow to the meter. Such a burst will cause the
float to impact the float stop with destructive force.
Magnet, solenoid, or other quick opening valves
cannot be used unless meter is protected against
sudden bursts of flow.
7. Maximum working pressure not to exceed 150 psi at
ambient temperature.

Cleaning: The flowmeter body and all other parts can be cleaned by washing in a mild soap and water
solution. A soft bristle bottle brush will simplify cleaning inside the meter body.
