3.6 Installing the Flow Sensor

Referring to Fig. 3.8:

a

Tighten the nut (hand-tight only).

b

Remove the cap.

c

Apply PTFE tape.

d

Insert the flow sensor into the valve.

e

Tighten firmly.

Warning.

When inserting or removing the flow sensor suitable restraining equipment must be used to 

prevent the flow sensor being forced out under pressure. Ensure that the valve is fully open.
