Note
: Pipes less than 300mm diameter are NOT RECOMMENDED for Starflow installation due to
the instrument’s size.
Do the following:
1. If the inside circumference of the pipe is ACCURATELY known, then cut the band assembly to
this length LESS 25mm for fitting clearance. Circumference (length) = Diameter x 3.14
2. Arrange the clamp, band(s) and joiner(s) so that Starflow unit will be positioned at the bottom
(invert) of the pipe and an Expanding Clamp at the top (obvert) of pipe (see diagram).
3. Drill 4 x 5mm holes, 85mm spaced in the centre of the band to locate the Starflow instrument
Use the Starflow mounting clamp 6526M-2 as a guide.
Use a small pilot drill bit (about 2mm) then finish with the 5mm bit. (When drilling stainless steel,
DO NOT stop once drilling has begun, as this will immediately blunt the drill bit.
4. Use M3 x 12mm stainless steel machine screws and M3 nylocks (supplied) to connect all parts.
(If pop rivets and the pop rivet gun are available they can be used as the replacement for the
screws and nuts sets)
Note
: the band length must be measured to include the Expanding Clamp (fully closed), bands and
joiners all together as shown.
