4.2 Plumbing
he 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 0.34 bar (5
PSI). The maximum pressure for proper operation should not exceed 10.3 bar (150 PSI).
The maximum allowable fluid temperature is 40°C (104°F).
Figure 4: Recommended Plumbing for the Instrument
The supplied T-strainer should always 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 adaptation should be made at the T-strainer, not the instrument. Opaque tubing is
recommended 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-rigid or rigid
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.
