Steam service
For steam service, do not blow down impulse piping through the transmitter. Flush the lines with the
blocking valves closed and refill the lines with water before resuming measurement.

Side mounting
When the transmitter is mounted on its side, position the coplanar process flange to ensure proper
venting or draining. Keep drain/vent connections on the bottom for gas service and on the top for liquid
service.

Independent seals
The Rosemount 3051N Transmitter incorporates two independent seals between the process
connection and the conduit connection.
