IMPORTANT
Useboltsandnutsincompliancewiththeange
ratings. When stud-type through-bolts are used, 
be sure the outside diameter of the shank is 
smaller than that of the thread ridge. Be sure to 
choose a gasket with inner and outer diameters 
that does not protrude inside the piping (Read 
Subsection 3.3.4). If the inner diameter of the 
gasket is too large, or outer diameter of the 
gasketistoosmall,uidleakagemayresult.
(1)  Mounting Direction

IMPORTANT
If it is impossible to match the direction of 
the arrow mark, the direction of the electrical 
connection can be changed. Read Section 11.1 
to do this properly. 
Incasetheuidbeingmeasuredowsagainst
the arrow direction, read this parameter J20: 
Flow Direction in this user’s manual.
(2)  Mounting Centering Devices
Tomaintainconcentricityoftheowmeterwiththe
pipes, install centering devices. From the process 
piping side, pass two through-bolts through the 
four centering devices (two for each bolt) and 
the adjacent two holes (the lower two holes for 
horizontalmounting)ofbothoftheanges(Read
Figure 3.3.2). Use the appropriate centering 
devices according to the nominal diameter and the 
angeratings.Thecenteringdevicesareengraved
with an identifying character. Use the appropriate 
oneswhichmeettherequiredspecicationsby
reading Table 3.3.7 and Table 3.3.8.
(3)  Positioning the Flowmeter
PositiontheowmetersothattheMini-angesand
the centering devices come in close contact with 
each other. Be careful to prevent the four centering 
devices from coming into contact with the housing. 
If stud-type through-bolts are used, position them 
in such a way that the four centering devices come 
in contact with the bolt threads (Read Figure 3.3.2). 
Pass the other through-bolts through from the 
process piping side.
