1) Insert the meter as described above.
2) Tighten the nut until the stem will not turn by hand or move axially in the fitting.
3) Mark the nut at the 6 o’clock position.
4) While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut one and one quarter
(1¼) turns to the 9 o’clock position.
CAUTION
The compression fitting must be tightened as described in the following procedure. Failure to do
will likely result in fluid leaks and/or permanent damage to the flow meter stem.
!
WARNING
SYSTEM MAY BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. When inserting, removing or adjusting the meter
position, be sure to hold the enclosure firmly by hand before SLOWLY loosening the
compression fitting. Failure to do this will allow the pressure to suddenly and rapidly force the
meter from the pipe causing serious injury. The hand effort required to hold the meter will be 0.2
times the pipe pressure.
