ate place.
2.
Connect a fluid line to the 3/8” NPT (f) fluid outlet
port located between the PrecisionFlo metering
valve outlet (not shown) and the dispense device
(not shown). Refer to the metering valve and
device instruction manuals for detailed information.
3.
Connect the fluid line to the 3/4” NPSM (f) fluid
supply inlet port on the flow meter (3).
4.
Install a fluid filter.
