INSTALLING QS200 METER INTO AN EXISTING TEE INSTALLATION
Remove old insert from tee (Retrofit instructions only –
Verify tee is compatible before installation)
1. Turn off water, and alleviate pressure in the
system.
2. Clean all dirt and debris away from the
immediate area and the top of the old insert, then
pull out the quick release pin from the meter (see
Figure 5).
3. Remove the old insert. Grasp the insert flange
with your hand and pull straight up and out of the
Tee, making sure no dirt or other particles fall
into the insert bore of the meter (see Figure 6).
NOTE:
The FLOMEC
®
Multi-Tool (p/n 146055-501) can be
used to make removal of old insert easier (see Figure 10).
NOTE:
When replacing another manufacturer’s insert
with the QS200 Retrofit Insert, the old insert could have a
sediment or mineral buildup and may need to be leveraged
out of the tee.

Install new or replacement insert into tee (Both for new
installation and retrofits)
1. The Tee insert bore must be clean before
installing the insert and the (2) black O-rings on
the insert should be fully lubricated.
a. The O-rings on the outside of the QS200
Retrofit Insert are square profile O-rings. When
installing in another brand of Tee, if the insert
fits too tight into the Tee, replace the square
profile O-rings with the round profile O-rings
included with the QS200 Retrofit Insert. Their
installation could make installation easier in
tight fitting Tees. The O-rings must be fully
lubricated before insert installation.
2. Orient the insert over the insert bore so the arrow
on the insert is pointing in the direction of flow.
3. Insert the QS200 straight down into the Tee.
4. Push down on the insert flange and twist slightly
to install. Then align the retaining pin holes in the
insert with the holes in the Tee (see Figure 7).
NOTE:
The FLOMEC Multi-Tool (p/n 146055-501) can be
used to make installing new insert easier (see Figure 11).
5. Replace the quick release pin (see Figure 8).
6. Using the splicing and wiring information (see
QS200 Wiring Installation
section), connect the
wiring from the new insert to the wiring cable of
the controller.
