CAUTION  
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID FAILURE  
1. Finish piping to be plumb and true.  
2. Polysulfone and other exotic plastics cannot tolerate P.V.C. glue and pipe  
dope. Even the fumes can cause crazing.  
3. Use teflon tape for threaded joints.  
4. Make up assembly and fit pipes, then: remove F.M. after glue fumes are  
vented out.  
5. Meter cannot support attached pipes.  
6. Excessive vibration may cause float to give poor reading or cause possible  
fracture.  
7. Wall, floor, and ceiling mounts to be carefully aligned and sturdy. A support  
should be at top and bottom of meter. See drawing.  
8. Hand tighten union nuts. No wrenches.  
9. Protect meter from ultra violet (UV) rays.  
10. VALVES - avoid system that will impose a sudden burst of flow to the meter.  
Such a burst will cause the float to impact the guide assembly with destructive  
force. Magnet, solenoid, or other quick opening valves cannot be used unless  
meter is protected against sudden burst of flow.  
11. Failure to comply VOIDS WARRANTY!

Your OMEGA FL45200A Series  
Your OMEGA flowmeter was designed to be easy to install.  
!
!
Please read the Instruction Guideline on the next page  
before installing your flowmeter.  
!
This flowmeter is an instrument, special care should be taken  
when handling and installing.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Remember that you are installing an instrument. Adapters and fittings  
should be tightened only enough to prevent leaking. Over tightening  
may damage the o-ring seals and threaded fittings.  
Never hold the meterbody with pliers or similar tools that may scratch.  
Never allow the flowmeter to support the weight of related pipe or  
tubing.  
Be certain the meterbody is properly aligned with existing plumbing.  
Misalignment will put excessive stress on the meterbody and may  
result in damage and a decrease in the maximum pressure. If in doubt  
regarding proper plumbing procedures, consult a licensed plumber.  
The flowmeter must be installed in an exact vertical plane to ensure  
accuracy.  
Polysulfone is adversely affected by ultraviolet light. Protect the  
flowmeter from direct sunlight.  
Always use teflon® tape thread sealant. DO NOT use pipe dope  
compounds as these products may cause crazing and cracking on the  
meterbody.  
Do not use solvent based glued (such as PVC cement) while the  
flowmeter is fully installed. When using these glues, remove the  
meterbody until the glue has cured. Then purge the system before  
installing the unit.  
Never attempt to solder brass fittings while the flowmeter is fully  
installed. The heat required for soldering can damage the flowmeter.  
Caution should be exercised when using ball type valves. In some  
cases when the valve is opened the float can slam to the top of the  
meter causing damage. This “Water Cannon” effect is actually  
exceeding the maximum pressure and is not covered under warranty.  
Your flowmeter had been designed to be virtually maintenance free.  
Should your unit need occasional cleaning, use a mild soap and soft  
bottle brush.  
Be sure to note the floats “UP” position before disassembling the meter.

Danger: Wear eye protection when  
installing or removing flowmeter.  
1. Polysulfone and other exotic plastics  
cannot tolerate PVC Glue and /or pipe dope.  
even fumes can cause crazing.

2. If you are installing your flowmeter to  
a glued pipe configuration, install

flowmeter after all glued fittings are dried  
and lines are purged of all fumes.  
Use Teflon® tape (or similar) for the  
flowmeters threaded adapters.

Hand tighten union nuts. No wrenches.  
3. Wall, floor, and ceiling mounts are to  
be carefully aligned and sturdy. Wall,  
floor, and ceiling supports are recom-  
mended as needed.  
Floor  
4. Valves - Avoid a system that will impose a sudden burst of flow to the meter. Such  
a burst will cause the float to impact the float stop with destructive force. Magnet,  
solenoid, or other quick opening valves cannot be used unless meter is protected  
against sudden bursts of flow.  
5. The maximum working pressure should not exceed 150 psi at ambient  
temperature.
