Note
Due to the weight of the Flo-Tap mounting hardware, external support may be needed for
vertical orientation applications and horizontal orientation applications that are installed
outside of the recommended zones.
1.3 Vertical orientation
The sensor can be installed in any position around the circumference of the pipe,
provided the vents are positioned properly for bleeding or venting. Optimal
results for liquid or steam are obtained when flow is up. For steam applications, a
90° spacer will be added to provide water legs to ensure the transmitter stays
within temperature limits. The maximum temperature for a direct mounted
transmitter is 500 °F (260 °C).
