/4-inch open-end torque wrench – for 3- and 4-inch [80 and 100 mm]
stainless steel wafer-style flowmeters
Wafer-style flowmeters, sizes 6- and 8-inch (150 and 200 mm):
Rotate the sensor cable 180° while firmly grasping sensor just
below the first coil.
All other flowmeters:
It may be necessary to temporarily bend the sensor cable coil aside in order
to install the sensor nut.

CAUTION
When bending the sensor
cable, ensure that the lower
portion of the cable near the
sensor does not twist.
Twisting may crack or
damage the cable.

• Remove loose particles using a suction or compressed air device.
• Carefully brush surface using a soft bristle brush.
• Wipe surface clean using a moistened cotton swab. Repeat as needed.
FIGURE 2. Sensor cavity
• Carefully place sensor over post in sensor cavity.
FIGURE 3. Sensor alignment before seating; applying equal pressure during installation
• Manually push the sensor onto the post by applying equal pressure.
• Screw the sensor nut into the sensor cavity and tighten to
32 foot-pounds using the appropriate open-end torque wrench
(see “Tools” on the opposite side of this document).

3. Clean the sealing surface. See Figure 2.
Sealing surface –
provides a secondary seal in
the event that process fluid
should corrode through the
meter body and enter the
sensor cavity
CAUTION
Do not scratch or damage any part of
the sensor, sensor cavity, or sensor nut
threads. Damage to these parts may
require replacement of the sensor or
meter body, or render the flowmeter
dangerous.
