Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Always begin by shutting off the water flow to prevent unintended leaks or spillage. Confirm the system is depressurized to avoid damage or injury during installation.
Step 2: Prepare the Piping
Locate the section of piping where the flow meter will be installed. You may need to cut the pipe to achieve a suitable location, ensuring clean, square cuts for secure fittings.
Step 3: Connect the Flow Meter
- Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape to the male threads of the inlet and outlet fittings to ensure a watertight seal.
- Carefully screw the flow meter into the piping, aligning the flow direction arrow on the acrylic body with the water flow direction in the piping system.
- Use a wrench or pliers to tighten the fittings securely, avoiding over-tightening which could crack the acrylic body.
Step 4: Mount the Panel
Position the flow meter's mounting bracket onto the designated panel. Use screws or fasteners appropriate for your panel material to secure the device firmly in place.
Integrating the Valve and Final Checks
Step 5: Attach the 1/2" Valve
Connect the integrated valve to the flow meter’s outlet or inlet as specified. Ensure it is tightly secured to enable precise flow control and prevent leaks.
Step 6: Verify Alignment and Connection Integrity
Double-check all fittings and connections for proper tightness. Confirm the flow meter is mounted level if required, to ensure accurate readings, and that the valve operates smoothly.
System Startup and Calibration
Step 7: Turn On the Water Supply
Gradually restore water flow, observing the flow meter for any leaks or irregularities. Allow the system to reach steady state before proceeding.
Step 8: Adjust the Flow Rate
Use the integrated valve to control flow precisely within the 1-5 GPM range. Monitor the flow rate via the acrylic indicator, ensuring it is within your system's desired parameters.
Step 9: Confirm Proper Operation
Check that the float moves smoothly with changing flow rates and that the readings are consistent and accurate. Make initial adjustments as needed for optimal system performance.
Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the acrylic body for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure the valve operates smoothly and seals properly.
- Periodically verify that the flow readings match system expectations.
Why This System Fits
