Blue-White F-430N Machined Acrylic Tube - Manual (Page 2)

Installation Guideline
Please use the following steps to guide you through the
installation.
1. Flowmeter must be installed in an exact vertical
plane to ensure accuracy.
2. Use PTFE tape (or similar)for the flowmeters
threaded adapters. Acrylic and other exotic
plastics cannot tolerate PVC Glue and/or pipe
dope. Even fumes can cause crazing. If you are
installing your flowmeter to a glued pipe configu-
ration, install flowmeter after all glued fittings are
dried and lines are purged of all fumes.Never
hold the meter with pliers or like tools. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN!
3. Wall, floor and ceiling mounts are to be carefully
aligned and sturdy. Wall, floor and ceiling sup-
ports are recommended as needed.
4. 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. Solenoid valves, or other quick
opening valves cannot be used unless meter is protected against sudden bursts of flow.
5. Maximum working pressure not to exceed recommended psi at fluid temperature (see Temperature
Vs. Pressure chart).
Caution: Follow these tips to avoid failure
Danger: Wear eye protection when installing or
removing flowmeter.
