Installing the Sensor
There are two different versions of the insertion style F-5500. The standard version and the
high pressure version are shown below.
Installation Procedure
The installation depth of the sensor in the pipe is dependent on the pipe size. To get the most
accurate reading, proper placement of the sensor window within the pipe is necessary. Use
the following procedure to determine the proper depth setting for your meter. The procedure
is valid for nominal pipe sizes of 1.5" through 8". The maximum allowable height of the
installation hardware (branch outlet, close nipple & ball valve) is 6" as measured from the
outside wall of the pipe to the top of the valve.

Installation
Procedure
The standard version of the F-5500 is hand
insertable into pipes with operating pressures up
to 60 psig.
The high pressure version of the F-5500 is hand insertable
up to 100 psig. For applications above 100 psig, it is
necessary to isolate flow and relieve pressure before
attempting to install or remove the meter. The maximum
operating pressure for this version of the meter is 150 psig.
