Chapter 2  Installation of this Device
(ii) Recommended piping, example 2
A typical piping example in which the device is higher than the differential pressure output port of 
the process pipe is shown below.
Be sure to implement the following items.
•  Depending on the measured fluid, create an incline of at least 1/10 in the differential pressure 
output pipes so that drains, vents, etc., will clear.
Meaning of incline symbol 
  in the diagram: 
Low position
   
High position
•  Install gas vent plugs at locations where gas in connecting pipes exits.
•  After doing the piping work, confirm that there are no pressure leaks in the connecting pipes,  
the three-way manifold valve, the transmitter, etc.
•  For the purpose of connecting pipe maintenance, use T-joints to attach drain valves.
