• Custom – By selecting custom, two new windows will appear which allow
the user to manually enter a pipe ID and pipe OD. A warning status will be
triggered if the ID > OD. The units of measurement for the ID and OD are
inches.
Like it was for a table entry of the pipe size, the remaining stem dimensions
as well as the gauge length will auto-ll after the ID and OD have been
congured.
IMPORTANT
The “SET” button must be pressed after entering a pipe ID and OD.
Meter Length (Read Only)
The meter length is the distance between the bottom of the meter’s black
electronics enclosure and the end of the meter. This distance is used in the
calculation of the insertion depth in the “Pipe Selection” tab.
Remaining Stem Length with Installation Hardware (Read Only)
This length is a calculated value of how much insert-able length a meter has left,
based on the calculated Gauge Length (proper insertion depth). The remaining
stem is a function of the meter length, the pipe ID and OD, and the type of
installation kit.
• The “Dry Tap Kit” is a ball valve assembly designed to be installed during
new construction or when the pipe was drained. An example of a “dry tap
kit” is an ONICON INSTL0001-FMD for carbon steel pipe. The valve assembly
height assumed for this calculation is 5.5 inches.
IMPORTANT
This calculated remaining stem should always be a positive value. If it is
negative, that means the meter cannot reach the proper insertion depth with
a valve assembly that is 5.5” or taller. If the value is negative, the eld will
be highlighted yellow, warning you of this.
If you have provided your own valve assembly, calculate the remaining stem with
the following equation:
Customer Remaining Stem =
Remaining Stem with Dry Tap Kit - (Customer Valve Assembly Height-5.5)
