Using the FLOMEC
®
Multi-Tool
The multi-tool (see Figure 9) was designed exclusively
for tee type meters that use an insertion type insert. It
facilitates easier removal of the insert, whether from a
QS200 meter or other brands of tee type insertion meters.
It is especially useful when attempting to remove an old,
inoperative, or inaccurate insert from another brand of tee
type insertion meter for replacement with a QS200 insert.
The multi-tool is versatile, compact, and fits easily into the
valve box for close quarters use.
The pointed end is designed for use as:
1. A versatile pry bar and driving wedge. On other
brands of tee type insertion meters, when the
insert lip may be too close to the top of the tee
to use the U-formed end of the multi-tool, use
the pointed end (as pry bar or driving wedge)
between the insert lip and top of the tee to break
the insert loose and gain room between the
insert lip and tee to use the U-formed end to lever
the insert up and out.
2. An alignment tool to align the pin holes of the
new insert with the pin holes in the tee.
3. A cleaning tool for clearing debris from the valve
box lid groove or other crevices.
The U-formed end is designed for use as:
4. A handle for leverage when using the pointed
end.
5. A levering tool by slipping the U-formed end
around the insert between the insert lip and the
top of the tee. This positions the tool for use as a
lever for levering inserts up and out of the tee for
replacement. It can be levered up or down, and
can be rotated to any quadrant around the insert
in order to give the best position for leverage.
The multi-tool (P/N 146055-501) is available for purchase
separately.
