Preparing for Installation
When the holes are drilled, metal shavings will enter the pipe. Make sure that
filters or other provisions are present downstream to prevent shavings from
damaging equipment or product or being blown out and causing injury.
Prepare the meter for the direction of flow. The flow arrow on the meter must be
oriented to match the direction of flow in the pipe. If doing so will cause the
display to be upside-down, remove the cover of the meter, lift out the display,
rotate both 180° and re-install.
Apply the “Holes in Pipe” decal so that it will be hidden when the meter is in place
but will be revealed when it is removed.
Installing the Meter
Installation of the CDI 5250 Hot Tap Flowmeter should be done by an
experienced mechanic. As a precaution, hearing, face, and hand protection
should be worn at all times. If done properly, the sound of the drill will be the
loudest part of the installation.
