F-1000 Page 8 4.4 INSTALLING THE F-1000 MACHINED IN-LINE FITTING (PI) F-1000 machined in-line fittings consist of a meter body, two pipe adapter fittings (inlet and outlet), and two half union nuts Pipe adapters are supplied with female Amencan National Standard Taper Pape Threads (NPT) The adapters are secured to the meter body with half union nuts and sealed with Viton 0-rings •Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4 1 •Install the F-1000 as you would any other plastic pipe fitting Because the F-1000 uses half inion nut style connections, the adapters can be installed on the piping system first and then secured to the meter body with the unions •The F-1000 can be mounted on horizontal or vertical runs of pipe Mounting at the twelve o'clock position on horizontal pipe is recommended Mounting anywhere around the diameter of vertical pipe is acceptable, however, the pipe must be completely full of water at all times See figure 4, 5 and 6 •Be sure the inlet and outlet fittings are aligned properly Improper alignment of the fittings will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage •Do not over tighten the fittings Use Teflon®tape sealant only on the adapter threads Do not use pipe dope or glue ®Be sure the inlet and outlet plumbing is properly secured Tne FW 1000 is not designed to support the weight of related piping Improperly supported pipes will put stress on the adapter connections and may cause leaking or fitting damage FINPT-Female Pipe Threads-- - - — H i K ' Machined irs line body L — I I I-�W Q-nng Machined adapter with FPT Fig. 9 r Union nut Pipe pl rtmz vel <r - vl M PR Pipe rin am 9 erdiltiH®igtlt � _�r B n 318" 318'-FINPT 7 4'(188 mm) 6 3'(159 mm) 1 22 (31 mm) 1 6G (40 6 mm) 2 45 (62 mm) 1/2' 112"-FINPT 7 4'(188 mm) 6 3 (159 mm) 1 22 (31 mm) 160 (40 6 mm) 2 45 (62 mm) 314' 314'-FINPT 7 4'(108 mm) 6 3 (159 mm) 122 (31 mm) 1 60 (40 6 mm) 2 45"(62 mm) 1 0" 10'-F1NPT 7 4 (188 mm) 6 3 (159 mm) 1 22'(31 mm) 1 60 (40 6 mm) 2 45 (62 mm) 1-112 1-112'-FINPT 9 4 (239 mm) 6 6 (167 mm) 1 70-(43 mm) 2 50'(63 5 mm) 2 5 (63 mm) 2 0' 2 0 -FINPT 11 4 (290 mm) 7 1 (180 mm) 2 00 (51 mm) 3 08'(78 2 mm) 3 0 (76 mm)
