Installation requirements
Prior to installation of
the water meter
the system should be flushed while a fitting piece replaces the meter.
Install the meter
-
it
must be mounted with matching couplings if needed.
A
lways use new gaskets in original
quality.
Place the meter as required. The meter can be mounted at any angle, however, it shoul
d be installed
correctly in relation to the flow direction, indicated by an arrow on the side of the meter housing.
Furthermore, the
meter
ought to
be orientated so
that the display
is
easy to read. (see section 7.2 and 7.3
)
When mounting the water meter, you must ensure that the length of the meter thread will not prevent
sufficient tightening of the sealing surface, and make sure that PN10 or PN16 connections are used.
Kamstrup A/S recommends drinking water approved fibre gaskets for cold water installati
ons. If a non
-
return valve is installed, it will usually be necessary to use 4 mm PE gaskets instead,
to prevent the collar of
the coupling from damaging the valve.
Kamstrup A/S supply such gaskets.
