F-1000 4.3 Page 6 HOW TO INSTALL YOUR F-1000 SADDLE FITTING The F-1000 saddle is designed to mount on smooth schedule 40 IPS pipe, schedule 80 IPS pipe (ASTM-D1785) , PN10 metric pipe or PN16 metric pipe (DIN 8062). The outside of the pipe must be clean, smooth and free of surface imperfections. The outside diameter must be as specified to ensure a leak free installation. The inside diameter must be as specified to ensure meter accuracy.
F-1000 Page 7 4.3.1 DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLE ! Select an area on the pipe as outlined in section 4.1. Be sure the surface area of the pipe is clean and smooth. ! Drill a 1-1/8" diameter hole through the center of the pipe wall. On horizontal installations, drill the hole as close to the 12 O'clock position as possible. A hole saw kit is available from the factory, order part number 20000-062. ! Clean all burrs from inside and outside the hole. Use fine sandpaper (440 grit) if necessary. 4.3.
F-1000 4.4 Page 8 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 American National Standard Taper Pipe Threads (NPT). The adapters are secured to the meter body with half union nuts and sealed with Viton O-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.
