INSTALLATION
Step-By-Step Video instruction
Cleaning
The tapered tube may be cleaned with a
soft bottle brush. Use a MILD soap and
water solution for cleaning purposes. Note
the oats “up” position for re-assembly.
Should the meter fail to read, ensure the
openings in the front and rear of the pitot
tube are not clogged, that the pitot tube
opening faces the direction of the ow.
Troubleshooting
Install
2Drill the pitot tube hole in the top (12 O’clock position)
of the horizontal pipe or anywhere around vertical pipe.
Carefully remove all burrs. Insert the pitot tube, with
the gasket in place, into the drilled hole. Ensure the
ow direction is in the same direction of the ow arrow.
Tighten the clamps alternately, a little at a time.
Read
Avoid imposing a sudden burst of ow to the
meter. Solenoid valves may cause the oat to
impact the top oat stop with destructive force.
Always read oat at top.
