The recommended plumbing for the instrument is shown in Figure 4. The instrument is
designed to require very little head pressure to operate, but will need around 34.5kPa (5
PSI). The maximum pressure for proper operation should not exceed 276KPa (40 PSI).
The maximum allowable fluid temperature is 40°C (104°F).

The supplied T-strainer should be used to prevent clogging of the instrument. ¼” quick
connect fittings are supplied on the T strainer. If a pipe fitting change is required, this
change should be made at the T-strainer. Opaque tubing should be used if the tubing will
be exposed to sunlight, to prevent algae growth. Please note that the supplied connectors
are compatible with ¼” O.D. semi-ridged or ridged tubing.
The instrument is equipped with an internal cabinet drain (vent) to prevent damage in the
event of a tubing failure.
The drain tubing connects to a hose barb. The rated tubing size is ½” ID tubing. It is
recommended that opaque tubing be used to prevent algae growth. Keep this tubing as
short as possible. This drain must be kept open to the atmosphere.
