of stainless steel
Installation
 Brass flow sensor housing with external
threads according to ISO228 on inlet and  It can be installed an any angle
outlet and suitable externally threaded
tailpieces with union nuts and sealings  Avoid installation at highest point of system or system
part as air may be trapped in meter
 Temperature sensors for supply and return
pipeline with suitable brass fittings  It is recommended to place a ball valve before and after
the meter for easy replacement

 During measurement meter must be completely filled with

water
