O flowmeter sub-assembly
and is located within the flowmeter housing. The ORC is accessible by
removing the rear flowmeter housing cover. Figure 4-11 shows a typical ORC
location and mounting arrangement, with a detail of the O-rings and filter.
The following procedure applies to both ORC designs: P/N 4111800, and Low
Flow design P/N 4113229.

of flexible tubing with a blue N
2
O label on the replacement ORC (see
detail view in illustration) Secure each connection with a press-on
hose clamp.
Position the replacement ORC at the back of the N
2
O flowmeter sub-
assembly; be sure that its O-rings and filter are in place, and install
its three mounting screws.
