Mounting Instructions - Compression Fittings (Inline and Insertion Meters Previously Installed)
In cases where a compression tting has already been swaged in an inline ow body or an insertion
meter, use the following procedure.
• Carefully insert the probe with swaged ferrules into the tting until the front ferrule seats
against the tting (see Fig. 2.10).
• Verify that the probe is installed the correct depth in the pipe (refer to Fig. 2.5).
• Rotate the nut with a wrench until the probe and nut are in their previously marked positions,
or you feel a signicant increase in resistance (see Fig. 2.10).
• Tighten the nut slightly (approximately 1/8 turn).
