Description
FL-30000 Series Flowmeters use a pitot tube pickup and a hardedged float
design to provide a convenient and economical means of measuring water flow
in a closed-pipe system. A one-piece, impact-resistant machined acrylic body
offers the strength and long service required in most commercial and industrial
applications. The low flow rate models are ideal for applications where flow
rates are typically low, and such as in solar-heated pools and spas, electronics
and irrigation.

Typical Installation
Insert the pitot tube, with a gasket in place, into the || |
drilled pipe. Tighten the clamps altemately, a little at
a time. Make certain the flow direction is towards the
pitot tube opening.
Maintenance
Little flowmeter maintenance is required. Should the meter fail to read, make certain:
* that the pitot tube opening is unobstructed, -
* that the pitot tube opening faces in the directions of the flow,
* that you have installed the meter on the correct type and size of pipe.
Use mild soap on the outside of the flowmeter.

WARNING
If the pressure is tured on when the cap is off, you will lose the float. Be careful of
your eyes. Floats are not sold as spare parts.
