Pipe Mounting Instructions 

 

 
The meter can also be mounted to a pipe using an 
optional U-Bolt kit. This kit includes two U-bolts, the 
necessary hardware, and is available in zinc plated 
steel 

(PDA6848

) and 316 stainless steel  

(

PDA6848-SS). 

 

 

 
To mount the meter using a U-Bolt kit, follow these 
instructions: 

•

 

Orient the groove on the back of the 
instrument with the pipe and secure it to the 
pipe with the two U-bolts and hardware 
provided.
