3.2.2 APP SPECIFICATIONS
Table 3.2.2
3.3 COUPLINGS
The SHO-FLOW 1 is offered with standard hose threaded connections: 1.5” NH, 1.5” BSP, or 1.5” NPSH. The SHO-FLOW 2 is offered
with standard hose threaded connections: 2.5” NH, 2.5” BSP, or 2.5” NPSH. Inlets are rigid female threaded couplings. Fluid is sealed
using a hose gasket. Do not use thread sealant. Outlets are rigid male threads. Maximum torque 20 ft-lb (27 Nm).
3.4 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided the equipment is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the
equipment may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion, and is not covered under warranty.
4.0 INSTALLATION
SHO-FLOW should be installed with the FLOW arrows on the label pointing in the direction of water flow. Published accuracy is assured
when the flow meter is installed in conditions with minimal turbulence; between two lengths of hose with the same size couplings as the
flow meter. Avoid locations where the flow meter or adjacent hose are used as a step.

CAUTION
Mismatched or damaged waterway connections may cause equipment to leak or uncouple under
pressure. Failure could result in injury. Equipment must be mated to matched connections.
CAUTION
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability to
uncouple the connection, or complete loss of engagement over time. Failure could cause injury. Per
NFPA 1962, if dissimilar metals are left coupled together, an anti-corrosive lubricant should be
applied to the connection and the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least
quarterly.
NOTICE
Turbulence can cause inaccurate readings. Installing the flow meter adjacent to turbulence causing
plumbing like elbows, partially gated valves, eductors, and flat adapters is not recommended. The
best accuracy is assured when the flow meter is paired between two sections of straight hose.
NOTICE
Reverse installation will result in incorrect readings and will damage the device over time. Always
ensure the FLOW arrows on the device point in the direction of flow.
