Gauge Length (Read Only)
The gauge length is a calculated value, based on the meter length, pipe ID, and
pipe OD. It provides the user with the dimension needed to correctly set the
insertion depth of the meter for a specic meter length and pipe size.
• The “Hot Tap Kit” is a ball valve assembly designed to be installed after the
pipe was lled, allowing a wet tap drill to cut the pipe without draining it
rst. An example is an ONICON INSTL0002-FMH for carbon steel pipe. The
valve assembly height assumed for this calculation is 6.875.
IMPORTANT
This calculated remaining stem should always be positive. If it is negative,
then that means that the meter cannot reach the proper insertion depth with
a valve assembly that is 6.875” 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 Hot Tap Kit-(Customer Valve Assembly Height-6.875)
The customer valve assembly height is the distance from the outside of the pipe
to the top of the 1” outlet that the meter is inserted through:
