2. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions when handling, installing, or maintaining the KIT120FLG meter flange assembly:
- Ensure the pump system is de-pressurized and drained before beginning any installation or maintenance.
- Disconnect power to the pump to prevent accidental operation.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses and gloves.
- Refer to the main pump manual for specific safety guidelines related to your FR4200 or FR4400 series pump.
- Handle components carefully to avoid damage or injury.
3. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install the KIT120FLG meter flange assembly:
- Prepare the Pump: Ensure the FR4200 or FR4400 series pump is turned off, de-pressurized, and any fuel or fluid lines are disconnected from the area where the flange will be installed.
- Remove Existing Flange (if applicable): If replacing an old flange, carefully remove the existing bolts and flange, ensuring no debris enters the pump or lines.
- Position the O-Ring: Place the O-ring onto the meter side of the new KIT120FLG flange. Ensure it is seated correctly to create a proper seal.
- Connect to Pump Discharge: Using a pipe nipple (not included), connect the inlet of the meter flange to the pump's discharge port. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Attach Meter: Align the meter (not included) with the flange. Use the provided bolts (typically four) to securely attach the meter to the flange. Tighten bolts evenly to prevent stress on the components and ensure a tight seal.
- Inspect Connections: Double-check all connections for tightness and proper alignment.
- Test for Leaks: After installation, slowly re-pressurize the system and carefully inspect for any leaks around the flange and meter connections. Address any leaks immediately.

4. Operation
Once properly installed, the KIT120FLG meter flange assembly facilitates the connection of a compatible meter to your Fill-Rite FR4200 or FR4400 series pump. The flange ensures a secure and sealed pathway for fluid transfer, allowing the connected meter to accurately measure the dispensed volume. Operation of the meter itself will depend on the specific meter model used.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of the meter flange assembly ensures optimal performance and longevity:
- Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the flange, O-ring, and bolts for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Check for leaks around the connections.
- O-Ring Replacement: The O-ring is a critical sealing component. Replace it if it shows signs of cracking, hardening, or compression set, or if leaks are detected.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the flange clean from dirt, debris, and fluid residue.
- Bolt Tightness: Periodically check the tightness of the bolts securing the meter to the flange. Do not overtighten.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KIT120FLG meter flange assembly, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fluid Leakage | Damaged or improperly seated O-ring; loose bolts; damaged flange. | Ensure O-ring is correctly positioned and undamaged. Tighten bolts evenly. Inspect flange for cracks or damage; replace if necessary. |
| Meter not seating properly | Misalignment; debris in connection; damaged threads. | Re-align meter and flange. Clean connection surfaces. Inspect threads for damage. |
