Utility Requirements
Once the line is installed, attach:
•
a shutoff valve
•
a 1/4-inch male fitting or
a 3/8-inch female fitting
The rest of the purge equipment (including the reducing nipple, pressure
coupling, pressure regulator, and flow meter) will arrive with the
instrument. The illustration below shows how the equipment will be
connected between the pressure coupling and the instrument.
If you installed a 1/4-inch male fitting, when your instrument arrives, you
will need a 1/4-inch open-end wrench to attach the pressure coupling. If
you used a 3/8-inch female fitting, you will need a 11/16-inch open-end
wrench to tighten a reducing nipple and a 3/4-inch open-end wrench to
tighten the pressure coupling. Always use pipe tape to prevent leaks at the
fittings.
