5-4. Installation of regular-type meter body
The meter body, together with the transmitter coupled to it, can be installed using either one
of the following methods:
Pipe stanchion mount
Process pipe mount
In either case, fix the meter body to a 2 in. vertical or horizontal pipe using the mounting
bracket and U-shape bolt. Fix the pipe securely to a foundation so that the pipe does not sway.
(See Fig. 5-2.)
To install the meter body in a process pipe line, prepare brackets for mounting the 2 in. pipe to
the process pipe. (See Fig. 5-3.)
When installing a remote-sealed type of meter body, exercise care not to sharply bend or twist
the capillary tube and not to damage the diaphragm.

Note) When installing the transmitter (meter body) on a 2 in. pipe, note that the order of mountings
(transmitter, bracket, and 2 in. pipe) differs depending on the mounting direction.
