The Strainer
READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND HAVE A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING BEFORE
PROCEEDING WITH METER INSTALLATION. ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM
METER INSTALLATION.
•
Install a strainer or Y or basket as close to the inlet side of the meter as possible. Strainers prevent dirt and other fluid
contaminants from impeding meter performance. Strainers require periodic cleaning, as clogged strainers also impede
meter performance. Contact your local representative for specific information, per your specific application.

Meter installation
•
Turn off any associated pumps to reduce line pressure and slowly fill the line and meter with fluid before restarting
pumps. Doing so reduces the possibility of meter damage caused by errant air pressures in the line and meter.
•
Make sure all pipe conforms to the same pressure output rating as the pump.
•
Make sure to apply thread sealant to all pipe threads.
•
Make sure to install the meter as shown in Figure 1:.
•
Check for and repair leaks upon initialization of fluid flow.
