Installation guidance
The unit can be installed in any position, horizontal, vertical or anywhere in between. The unit is designed to panel mount or pipe mount.
When panel mounting ensure that rear and bottom faces of the unit are at least 12 mm (1/2”) from any ferrous material such as an iron panel
or base. The piston contains a magnet that can be affected by close proximity of ferrous material. The front face can be mounted directly to
ferrous panels. Two 9 mm (0.35”) diameter holes are provided for this purpose.
The indicator can be connected into pressure or return lines, however, do not reverse flow; the flow indicator may be damaged and will act
as a non return valve.
Problems are generally few but debris from contaminated oil sometimes adheres to the piston or lodges between the piston and seat. This
jams the piston partially open, causing the flow needle to fail to return to zero. For recalibration or repair please contact the service centre
listed on the rear cover of this manual. Care should be taken to ensure that the flow indicator is installed in a position which is not subjected
to excessive pulsation as this can cause incorrect readings. Connections can be by flexible hoses or steel pipes.
For heavy-duty applications, for example installation close to a piston pump, consult the Webtec Products sales office.
