MAIN LINE METER INSTALLATION
I. UNCRATING. When uncrating the meter, any damage
due to rough or improper handling should be reported to
the transportation firm and McCrometer. If for any rea-
son it is determined that the unit or parts of the unit
should be returned to the factory, please contact
McCrometer for clearance prior to shipment. Each unit
must be properly crated to prevent any further damage.
The factory assumes no responsibility for equipment
damage in return shipment due to improper packaging.
The shipping crate contains the following items:
Main Line Meter Assembly with
Standard Totalizer ............................................ 1
Mounting Equipment as required ....................... -
Operation and Maintenance Manual ................ 1
Tool T-2402X-1 ................................................ 1
II. INSTALLATION of McCrometer Main Line Meters varies
depending upon the type and model of meter selected for
each application. The meter must have a full flow of
liquid for proper accuracy. The meter installations fall
into three basic categories:
1. FLANGED TUBE METERS can be installed exactly
as you would install any short length of flanged pipe.
Flanged ends are standard pattern and drilling for any
meter size. Fully opened gate valves, fittings or other
obstructions that tend to set up flow disturbances should
be a minimum of five pipe diameters upstream and one
pipe diameter downstream from the meter.
2. PLAIN END TUBE METERS can be installed simi-
lar to replacing a short length of plain end pipe in the line
by either welding, or by using one of a variety of pipe
couplings available. Note: Meter head assembly (#13)
should be removed before welding (see step IV). Fully
opened gate valves, fittings, or other obstructions that
tend to set up flow disturbances should be a minimum of
five pipe diameters upstream and one pipe diameter
downstream from the meter.
3. WELDING SADDLE METERS can be installed on
an existing pipeline by cutting a hole of proper size and
welding a meter saddle (furnished with the meter) to the
pipe. The installation steps outlined below should be
followed carefully to achieve proper mounting of the
meter:
A. ALIGN the cutout template in the desired position
for the meter on the pipe. Make certain that the center
line of the pipe and the center line marked on the tem-
plate are parallel with each other. Some people prefer to
use the saddle as the template.
B. SCRIBE the pipe along the line specified for your
meter size cutout.
C. CUT OUT the section of pipe within the scribed line
and remove all burrs, slag, and rough edges from the
inside and outside of the cutout section.

30119-06 Rev. 2.9/04-06

D. STRAIGHTENING VANES are recommended when
there are less than ten pipe diameters of straight pipe
(no fittings or obstructions) directly upstream from the
meter location. Straightening vanes are available from
the factory and, when required, should be installed in the
following manner, prior to welding the saddle to the pipe:
a.) HOLD the vanes on the outside of the pipe ten (10)
inches upstream from the center of the cutout open-
ing. The vanes must be parallel to the center line
of the pipe and should be equally spaced radially
120 degrees apart.
b.) MARK the pipe around the straightening vane bolts
and drill holes for vane mounting (9/16" dia. hole
for 4" through 12" meters or 11/16" dia. holes for
14" through 20" meters).
c.) INSERT the vanes into the pipe through the cutout
opening after installing the brass and stainless/rub-
ber washers over the vane bolts. The brass washer
should be installed against the vane bolt head with
the stainless/rubber washer installed against the
brass washer (rubber side away from vane). Posi-
tion the vanes inside the pipe with the bolts pro-
truding through the vane mounting bolt holes. Place
stainless/rubber washers over each bolt, rubber
against the pipe. The brass washer should be
placed between the stainless/rubber washer and the
vane mounting nut. Secure nuts to hold the vanes
to the pipe (approx. 60 ft./lbs torque). The vanes
can be welded to the pipe, if desired; however, the
washers should not be used. Note: Meter head
assembly (#13) should be removed before welding
(see step IV).
E. WELDING SADDLE should be centered over the
cutout section of the pipe. Make certain that no part of
the pipe protrudes past the inside edge of the welding
saddle. Tack weld the saddle to the pipe prior to weld-
ing a continuous bead around the saddle. Note: Meter
head assembly (#13) should be removed before welding
(see step IV).
F. METER ASSEMBLY should be placed in the line
with the propeller nose facing the upstream flow in the
pipe. Use care when installing the meter not to damage
the propeller as it passes through the saddle opening.
The meter head o-ring should be covered with a thin coat
of grease before installing the meter. Tighten the meter
head bolts securely.
MAIN LINE METER
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
III. MCCROMETER products have been carefully designed
to be as maintenance free as possible. Periodic preven-
tive maintenance, however, is highly recommended and
should be practiced according to schedule to ensure con-
tinuous accuracy and trouble-free performance of your
propeller meters. The maintenance and inspection proce-
dure can also be used as a guide to locating a problem
in the unit that may be the cause of abnormal meter
operation.
Routine preventative maintenance should be performed
on all meters, including cleaning and an inspection of the
propeller and bearing. The interval between inspections
depends on the water quality and the usage of the meter.
The initial inspection should be performed after one to
two years of service, to determine the period between
future inspections. After five to ten years, the complete
meter should be inspected to ensure years of dependable
service.
IV. METER HEAD ASSEMBLY (#13) should be removed
from the service line by removing the meter head bolts
(#51) and lifting up the rear (downstream) portion of the
meter head (#13) carefully pulling the assembly back
(downstream) and up at the same time to allow the pro-
peller (#38) to clear the inside of the meter saddle and
be lifted free. Inspect the meter head o-ring (#50) for
any sign of damage and replace if necessary. Replace
the meter head assembly (#13) with a dummy cover plate
if the service line is to remain in operation. Note: Due
to the limited clearance on an 8 inch size meter a differ-
ent removal procedure is used:
a) Remove the meter head bolts (#51).
b) Lift the meter assembly and tilt it forward.
c) Slide the assembly back out of the saddle opening.
The propeller may have to be rotated in order to fit
through the saddle opening.
V. WORKING AREA chosen for disassembly and reassem-
bly of the internal meter components should be clean to
reduce the chance of dust or dirt particles being intro-
duced into the meter mechanism.
VI. TOTALIZER ASSEMBLY (#4) service procedure should
include cleaning and inspection of the unit noting any
excessive wear on the change gears (#7 & #8) that may
lead to operational problems in the unit.
1. BONNET MOUNTING SCREWS (#3) should be re-
moved and the entire bonnet (#1) lifted off the meter.
2. TOTALIZER is contained within the totalizer bon-
net (#1) and held in place by a base cup (#5). It should
not be necessary to remove the totalizer (#4) during in-
spection; however, removal of the base cup (#5) is nec-
essary for inspection of the totalizer change gears (#7 &
#8). Removal of the base cup (#5) can be accomplished
by inserting a small screwdriver into the two cutouts and
prying upward under the edge.
3. TOTALIZER CHANGE GEARS (#7 & #8) should be
inspected for any sign of wear. Both the A-(drive) gear
and B-(driven) gear are attached to the lower portion of
the totalizer assembly (#4). Spin the floating totalizer
driven magnet in the center of the totalizer bottom (#4)
to make certain it spins freely without bind or drag. The
bottom of the totalizer has the letter "A" molded next to

30119-06 Rev. 2.9/04-06
5
the A-drive gear shaft, and the letter "B" next to the B-
driven gear shaft.
4. TOTALIZER DRIVE MAGNET ASSEMBLY (#12)
located in the meter head (#13) at the top of the vertical
shaft assembly (#14) should be checked and adjusted if
necessary to position it 1/16 inch below the top surface
of the meter head (#13). Adjustments can be made by
loosening the socket head set screw in the side of the
totalizer drive magnet assembly (#12), and sliding it up
or down the vertical shaft (#14) as needed, using tool 1-
2710. Always be sure the set screw is tightened into
the flat on the vertical shaft (#14).
VII. GEARBOX (#17) on McCrometer meters is sealed and
filled with gearbox oil to ensure the long life and proper
operation of the parts contained in the miter gear frame
assembly (#26). Before disassembling the lower meter
assembly, the oil must be emptied out of the gearbox
(#17). Vertical shaft assembly (#14) must be removed
before the gearbox oil can be drained.
VIII. VERTICAL SHAFT ASSEMBLY (#14) is pulled directly
out the top of the meter after removing two screws
(#16) inside the meter head (#13). Spin the upper bear-
ing assembly (#15) gently, checking for any sign of wear.
Inspect the vertical shaft assembly (#14) to be sure it is
not bent or damaged. To drain gearbox oil, turn meter
over onto the meter head (#13) and drain oil into a con-
tainer.
IX. MITER GEAR FRAME ASSEMBLY (#26) can be pulled
out of the back of the gearbox (#17) after removing four
screws (#36). Spin the driven magnet (#29) to make
sure the unit runs freely and inspect the teeth on both
the drive (#31) and the driven (#32) miter gear assem-
blies for any sign of excessive wear. If the assembly
spins freely and the miter gears (#31 & #32) are not
worn, there should be no further inspection or disassem-
bly of the unit. Should this service procedure show that
the unit does not spin freely or that the miter gears (#31
& #32) are worn, the miter gear frame assembly (#26)
should be disassembled as the following steps indicate
and all worn or damaged parts replaced.
1. DRIVEN MITER GEAR ASSEMBLY (#32) can be
removed by loosening the allen head set screw, located
on the side of the gear hub, and pushing the driven miter
gear shaft (#34) out of the assembly. Note the location
of the shim washer (#33), if any, to be sure it is repo-
sitioned properly when reassembling the miter gear frame
assembly (#26). When reassembling be sure the set
screws go into recess in the miter gear shafts (#29 &
#34), or damage could result. Be sure clevis end of the
driven miter gear shaft (#34) is at the same end as the
miter gear is located or the meter will subtract from the
totalizer.
2. DRIVE MITER GEAR ASSEMBLY (#31) can be re-
moved by loosening the allen head set screw, located on
the side of the gear hub, and pulling the driven magnet
and shaft assembly (#29) out the front of the miter gear
frame (#26). Note any shim washer (#33) that may be
positioned behind the drive miter gear (#31) when remov-
ing the shaft (#29).
3. COMPONENTS of the miter gear frame (#26) as
well as the gearbox (#17) should be completely inspected
at this point of disassembly. Each part of the miter gear
frame assembly (#26) should be carefully inspected to
determine the origin of any operational problem and those
parts that are damaged or worn should be replaced.
Clean the parts of the unit and reassemble reversing
steps (1) and (2) above.
X. PROPELLER ASSEMBLY (#37) inspection includes
cleaning the ceramic sleeve bearing (#39), separator as-
sembly (#18), drive magnet (#41), and the propeller as-
sembly (#38).
1. PROPELLER REMOVAL Loosen the set screw (#47)
in the side of the nose of the propeller. Remove the
thrust bearing cartridge (#48) by turning it counterclock-
wise while holding the propeller in place.
2. REVERSE THRUST BEARING CARTRIDGE (#44)
must now be removed. Turn the propeller (#37) so that
the allen wrench clearance hole is lined up with the set
screw in the side of the reverse thrust bearing cartridge
(#44). The location of the set screw is marked by a
small hole drilled in the face of the reverse thrust bearing
cartridge. With a 5/64 inch allen wrench, loosen the set
screw (#45) in the reverse thrust bearing cartridge (#44)
two to three turns, which will allow the cartridge to be
unscrewed without damaging the spindle thread. Note:
If the bearing area appears to be clogged with dirt or
sediment, making it difficult to locate the set screw
(#45) or to allow the allen wrench to fit into the set
screw socket, then the bearing area should be flushed
out with water. Insert Tool T-2402X-1 into the propeller
through the threaded nose. The tabs in the tool should
engage in the screwdriver slot in the end of the reverse
thrust bearing cartridge (#44). Remove the propeller as-
sembly (#37) and reverse thrust bearing cartridge (#44)
by turning Tool T-2402X-1 counterclockwise unscrewing
the reverse thrust bearing cartridge (#44) from the
spindle (#18). The propeller assembly with reverse flow
cartridge will now slide off the spindle. WARNING: If
the reverse thrust cartridge does not unscrew easily, it
may be because the set screw was not unscrewed
enough. If unscrewing the reverse flow cartridge is con-
tinued with the set screw binding on spindle thread,
damage to thread could occur.
3. WATER LUBRICATION of the ceramic sleeve bear-
ing (#39) is achieved by means of two openings in the
end of the thrust bearing cartridge (#48) which allows
air to be purged from the bearing area. These should be
cleared of any foreign material by running a small wire
through the holes on either side of the screwdriver slot.
4. CERAMIC BEARING CARTRIDGE (#39) and drive
magnet (#41) should be cleaned of any foreign material
and inspected for damage. Using a bottle brush, thor-

30119-06 Rev. 2.9/04-06
6
oughly clean the ceramic bearing surface (#39) and the
magnet inside diameter (#41). After cleaning the propel-
ler, flush the inside out with water. The outside sur-
faces of the propeller should also be cleaned to assure a
smooth, unrestricted flow across the surface of the pro-
peller. Do not use an oil-based solvent in cleaning, as
damage to the assembly could occur.
5. SPINDLE CERAMIC SLEEVE (#20) and the O.D. or
surface of the separator (#18) should be cleaned and
inspected for any substantial amount of wear. The
thrust bearing (#48) should be checked for any damage.
If it is determined that the spindle ceramic sleeve (#20)
or separator (#18) are worn sufficiently, the separator/
support spindle assembly (#18) should be replaced.
6. SEPARATOR/SUPPORT SPINDLE ASSEMBLY
(#18) can be removed for replacement by removing the
four mounting screws (#21) which thread into the gear
box. Separator o-ring (#22) should be replaced and the
new o-ring (#22) covered with a thin coat of silicone
grease. The separator/support spindle assembly (#18)
can then be replaced in the front of the gear box (#17)
with a firm push, gently rotating the assembly at the
same time. Replace and tighten the four mounting
screws (#21).
7. PROPELLER INSTALLATION is accomplished by
following these steps:
a) The reverse thrust cartridge set screw (#45) should
be protruding out of the reverse thrust bearing cartridge
so it will not bind up on the spindle thread. Note: Look
through the end of the propeller and hole in the reverse
thrust cartridge to be sure the set screw is not showing.
b) Slide the propeller assembly onto the support spindle
(#18) until the reverse thrust bearing cartridge (#44)
contacts the threads on the end of the spindle (#18).
Using Tool T-2402X-1, thread the reverse thrust bearing
cartridge onto the spindle. If you feel any resistance
when threading the reverse thrust cartridge on, stop at
once and check to be sure the set screw is not binding
on the thread. Be careful not to cross-thread the reverse
thrust bearing cartridge. Thread the reverse thrust bear-
ing cartridge (#44) onto the spindle (#18) until the trail-
ing edge of the propeller contacts the gear box (#17).
Set the proper end play by inserting a 5/64" allen wrench
into the reverse thrust bearing set screw (through the
side of the propeller) and loosen the reverse thrust bear-
ing cartridge (#44) 1/2 turn counterclockwise. Tighten
the set screw in reverse thrust bearing cartridge. There
should be approximately .020" clearance between the
gear box (#17) and trailing edge of the propeller when
the propeller in pulled forward (away from the gear box).
The propeller must not contact the gear box.
8. THRUST BEARING CARTRIDGE ASSEMBLY
(#48) should be inspected for damage and replaced in
the nose of the propeller. The thrust bearing cartridge
(#48) is used to adjust the amount of longitudinal end
play of the propeller assembly on its spindle (#18), which
should be about 1/64 inch. End play can be adjusted by
turning the thrust bearing cartridge assembly (#48)
clockwise until it tightens against the end of the support
spindle (#18), then turning thrust bearing cartridge (#48)
counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn. Tighten set screw
(#47). Check the longitudinal end play of the propeller
to ensure it's not excessive and does not allow the pro-
peller (#37) to contact the gear box (#17). Check the
clearance between the propeller (#37) and gear box
(#17). The clearance should be approximately .010"
between the gear box (#17) and trailing edge of the
propeller when the propeller in pushed back (toward the
gear box). The propeller assembly (#37) must spin freely.
9. PROPELLER BEARING (#39) can be checked for
excessive radial play by rocking the propeller (#37) gen-
tly from side to side on the spindle (#18). Some play is
required for proper operation of the water lubricated
ceramic sleeve bearing.
XI. INSPECTION of all internal meter parts that may be
replaced in the field has been accomplished at this point.
Should any of the meter parts, upon inspection, appear
to be damaged or excessively worn, they must be re-
placed to ensure proper meter operation and prevent
further damage.
XII. REASSEMBLY is necessary at this point. Before reas-
sembling any parts, make certain that each is cleaned of
any dust or dirt and properly lubricated. Costs for re-
placement parts not covered by warranty are available
from the current parts and price list. If it is determined
that the meter should be returned for repair, please no-
tify McCrometer prior to shipment. Each meter must be
properly packaged to prevent damage to the meter in
shipment.
1. MITER GEAR FRAME ASSEMBLY (#26) can be
replaced in the back of the gearbox (#17) with a firm
push, gently rotating the assembly at the same time.
Replace the miter gear frame o-ring (#35) and cover the
new o-ring with a thin coat of silicone grease before
replacing the assembly (#26). Make certain that the
assembly is installed in a position such that the drive
clevis portion of the driven miter gear shaft (#34) can
accept the driven clevis portion of the vertical shaft
assembly (#14). Secure with four mounting screws
(#36).
2. GEARBOX (#17) must be filled with one ounce of
10w mineral oil. A small funnel or an oil can with a small
nozzle will make filling the gearbox (#17) easier. Pour
the oil through the opening in the top of the meter head
(#13).
3. VERTICAL SHAFT ASSEMBLY (#14) should be in-
serted gently into the gearbox (#17) through the opening
in the top of the meter head (#13). Rotate the shaft
gently until it is engaged in the driven miter gear shaft
(#34) of the miter gear frame assembly (#26). Replace
and secure two screws (#16) that hold the upper bearing
(#15) in place. Do not overtighten the screws (#16) as

30119-06 Rev. 2.9/04-06
7
NOTES
this could cock the bearing (#15) and bind the vertical
shaft (#14). Turn the top of the vertical shaft (#14) to
check for any bind or drag. Should any bind or drag be
apparent, it can usually be corrected by adjusting the
vertical shaft collar and bearing assembly (#15). Loosen
the set screw (#16) in the side of the assembly (#15)
and slide the shaft (#14) downward until it rests against
the driven miter gear shaft (#34), then lift up about 1/
64 inch. Tighten set screw (#16).
4. TOTALIZER DRIVE MAGNET ASSEMBLY (#12)
should be checked again to make certain it is properly
set to drive the totalizer (#4) (see step VI, 4).
5. TOTALIZER BASE CUP (#5) can be placed back in
the totalizer bonnet (#1) on the totalizer assembly (#4)
after the desiccant capsule and the base cup o-ring (#6)
are replaced. Be sure o-ring (#6) is on base cup (#5)
properly.
6. BONNET ASSEMBLY (#1) should be cleaned and
replaced on the meter head (#13). Bonnet o-ring (#2)
should be replaced and the new o-ring (#2) covered with
a thin coat of silicone grease. Secure with four screws
(#3).
7. PROPELLER ASSEMBLY (#37) should be dipped in
water to lubricate the propeller ceramic sleeve bearing
(#39). Spin the propeller (#38) gently to make certain
the meter operates smoothly and no bind or drag is ap-
parent.
8. METER HEAD O-RING (#50) should be inspected
for any sign of damage and covered with a thin coat of
silicone grease. The meter can now be installed in the
service line. When replacing the meter on the line, make
certain that the top of the welding saddle is smooth and
free of any foreign material. Make certain that no for-
eign materials are attached to the inside of the service
line pipe, as any flow disturbance or obstruction may
affect the accuracy of the meter.
