-The pipeline
must have no restriction directly upstream or downstream of the meter.
- All flow regulating
devices must be installed downstream of the meter
-When choosing an
installation site, consider the meter orientation (horizontal/vertical)
- Flange gaskets
must not protrude into the pipeline or be mis-aligned.
- The pipeline
must be thoroughly flushed before installing the meter to prevent damage from
debris.
-The flow
direction of the meter must correspond with the flow direction in the pipeline
-After
installation of the meter, the pipeline must be filled with water very slowly
to prevent the meter being damaged by surges. Filling the pipe too rapidly can
cause air / water surges which can destroy the meter insert.
