Using the FLOMEC Multi-Tool
The multi-tool was designed exclusively for tee type meters that use an
insertion type insert. It facilitates easier removal of the insert, whether from
a QS200 meter or other brands of tee type insertion meters.
It is especially useful when attempting to remove an old, inoperative,
or inaccurate insert from another brand of tee type insertion meter for
replacement with a QS200 insert.
The multi-tool is versatile, compact and fits easily into the valve box for
close quarters use.
The pointed end is designed for use as:
1. A versatile pry bar and driving wedge. On other brands of tee type
insertion meters, when the insert lip may be too close to the top of the
tee to use the U-formed end of the multi-tool, use the pointed end (as
pry bar or driving wedge) between the insert lip and top of the tee to
break the insert loose and gain room between the insert lip and tee to
use the U-formed end to lever the insert up and out.
2. An alignment tool to align the pin holes of the new insert with the pin
holes in the tee.
3. A cleaning tool for clearing debris from the valve box lid groove or
other crevices.
The U-formed end is designed for use as:
4. A handle for leverage when using the pointed end.
5. A levering tool by slipping the U-formed end around the insert between
the insert lip and the top of the tee. This positions the tool for use as a
lever for levering inserts up and out of the tee for replacement. It can
be levered up or down, and can be rotated to any quadrant around the
insert in order to give the best position for leverage.
The multi-tool (P/N 146055-501) is a separate item available to the
customer, and is listed in the repair parts list near the back of the manual.
