Installation Requirements:
Minimum Straight Pipe Length Requirements
The meter's accuracy is affected by disturbances such as pumps,
elbows, tees, valves, etc., in the flow stream. Install the meter in a
straight run of pipe as far as possible from any disturbances. The
distance required for accuracy will depend on the type of disturbance.
Type Of Disturbance | Minimum Inlet Pipe Length | Minimum Outlet Pipe Length |
Flange | 10XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |
Reducer | 15XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |
90° Elbow | 20XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |
Two Elbows -1 Direction | 25XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |
Two Elbows -2 Directions | 40XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |
Pump Or Gate Valves | 50XPipel.D. | 5 X Pipe I.D. |

Mounting location
• The meter is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. A cool, dry location, where the unit can be easily serviced is recommended.
• The meter can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe. Mounting at the vertical (twelve o'clock) position on horizontal pipe is
recommended. Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be completely full of water
at all times. Back pressure is essential on downward flows. See the minimum straight length of pipe requirement chart above.
• The meter can accurately measure flow from either direction.
