Compatibility
Ensure the piping is either straight horizontal or vertical SCH 40 or SCH 80. (F-300M horizontal PN 10 or PN 16)
Planning
Mounts and supports must be sturdy enough to support the plumbing and prevent vibration. Vibration and heavy loads will damage the meter.

Install
Drill the pitot tube hole in the top (12 O'clock position) of the horizontal pipe or anywhere around vertical pipe. Carefully remove all burrs. Insert the pitot tube, with the gasket in place, into the drilled hole. Ensure the flow direction is in the same direction of the flow arrow. Tighten the clamps alternately, a little at a time.

CARING
For your flow meters

Troubleshooting

Cleaning

Should the meter fail to read, ensure the openings in the front and rear of the pitot tube are not clogged, that the pitot tube opening faces the direction of the flow.

The tapered tube may be cleaned with a soft bottle brush. Use a MILD soap and water solution for cleaning purposes. Note the floats "up" position for re-assembly.

Winterize
If installed outside, or if not being used for a period of time, we recommend removing the meter from the pipe, cleaning thoroughly, and storing it indoors for the winter. While the meter can withstand cold temperatures and outdoor conditions, expansion and contraction caused by freezing water can cause stress to the meter components that might result in cracking. Clean the meter inside and out prior to re-installing.
