IMPORTANT
Useboltsandnutsincompliancewiththeange
ratings. 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 
diameterofthegasketistoosmall,uidleakage
may result.

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.

the arrow direction, read the parameter J20: 
Flow Direction in this user’s manual.
(2)  Tightening Nuts
Tighten the bolts according to the torque values 
for the metal piping in Table 3.3.9. For PVC piping, 
select an optional code of GA, GC, or GD, use 
rubber gaskets and tighten the nuts to the torque 
values for the PVC piping in Table 3.3.10. 
Forpermeableuids(suchasnitricacid,
hydrouoricacid,orsodiumhydrateathigh
temperatures), tighten the nuts according to the 
torque values in Table 3.3.11.
CAUTION
ForaowmeterwithuorocarbonPFAlining,
it is possible that the nuts may loosen as time 
passes, so tighten them regularly. Be sure to 
tighten the nuts according to the prescribed 
torque values. Tighten them diagonally with 
the same torque values, step by step up to the 
prescribed torque value.
