4.2 Installing the FSPA or FWPA Buffer
Both types of buffers are easily installed into the pipe coupling or flange as follows:
• FSPA Threaded Mount: Use Teflon

tape thread sealant on the buffer threads and screw the buffer into the
transducer port. Hand-tightening the NPT threads will seal the connection without torquing.
• FWPA Socket-Weld Mount: Insert the buffer into the meter body transducer port and weld it to the port in
accordance with all applicable safety codes and procedures.
WARNING!
Welding should be performed by qualified personnel only. Safety personnel should be
consulted.
