NOTE: The larger of the two perforated plates of the Sage
Flow Conditioning assembly is positioned between two flanges
and two gaskets as shown. The smaller of the two perforated
plates of the conditioner will freely slide into the application
pipe, facing downstream. The probe mounting hardware will be
placed one diameter downstream of the downstream plate.
Probe location must be one pipe ID diameter downstream of
Flow Conditioners or errors will occur.

IMPORTANT The location of the probe must be exactly one pipe ID diameter (i.e., 4” in a 4” pipe; 6” in
a 6” pipe, etc.) downstream of the Captive Flow Conditioning assembly. The Captive Flow Conditioners
are always designed to be separated by one pipe diameter. See drawing below. The probe location must
be one pipe ID diameter downstream of Flow Conditioner, or errors will occur.
