Installation
cont'd.
Bolting Vanes
a. For easy vane installation, place each vane in its equivalent position on the outside of the pipe (2) and
mark the location for bolt holes.
b. Drill holes. Install vanes inside the pipe. Place lead washer and then steel washer on the bolt on
outside of pipe and tighten nuts securely (3a).
Welding Vanes
a. Space vanes equally at 120° radially and locate longitudinally as shown.
b. (3b) Secure vanes with a continuous bead weld around both ends and with intermittant staggered
bead welds along the vane.
Note: Installations with both forward and reverse
flows* may require additional vanes on the
downstream side of the meter. Install in the same
manner, 4" from the downstream saddle opening.
*Option requiring dual remote mounted totalizers.
3.3 Mounting the Meterhead
3.3.1 Tube mounted meters (2" - 36")
2"-4" - Not required - meterheads are shipped with meterhead mounted in place.
6"-36" - Follow directions per Section 3.3.2 following.
3.3.2 Saddle meters (6" - 72")
a. Place gasket on the face of the saddle
b. 6" - 8" Meters
Hold meterhead with propeller facing UPSTREAM.
Lower propeller into pipe and slide it upstream to position for capscrews and secure the
coverplate.
c. 10" - 72" Meters
Hold meterhead over opening with propeller toward you and blades lengthwise with the
pipe.
Tilt coverplate toward you.
Lower until one blade lies horizontally on the end of the saddle.
Ease the propeller down through the saddle with a "rolling" motion.
Turn the headplate so that the propeller faces upstream.
The arrow on the plate points in the direction of the flow. Tighten cap screws evenly (6"-14" sizes)
Insert screws and install nuts (16" - 72" only) tighten them evenly, and meter is ready to operate.
