ultrasonic
transmitters
have
been
optimized
for
use
in
non
‐
metallic
fittings.
1.
For
best
performance,
avoid
the
use
of
metallic
fittings.
a.
Use
a
plastic
2”
x
1”
reducer
bushing,
or
a
plastic
1”
flange
(See
Fitting
Selection
on
next
page).
2.
While
installations
directly
into
a
1”
metal
fitting
are
not
recommended,
acceptable
results
may
be
obtained
if
the
1”
fitting
is
a
half
coupling
in
form
and
the
outer
diameter
of
the
coupling
is
tightly
wrapped
in
vinyl
tape
to
dampen
vibrations.
