Safety Procedures NOTICE This manual provides warnings and procedures that are intended to inform the owner and/or operator of the hazards present when using the Liquid Controls Meter on LPGas and other products. The reading of these warnings and the avoidance of such hazards is strictly in the hands of the owner-operators of the equipment. Neglect of that responsibility is not within the control of the manufacturer of the meter.
Installation and Operation LC Strainers Overview Features LC markets a wide variety of strainers to fit most meters in terms of capacity, pipe size, working pressure and metallurgical compatibility. What LC Strainers Do Strainers help to protect meters from serious damage caused by burrs dislodged from new piping, pipe scale or foreign material. The strainer’s initial cost is good insurance against the cost of down time and replacement parts incurred from a damaged meter.
Maintenance Installation and Operation 1. Flush all new systems Flushing the system before the meter has been installed is the preferred first step. Thoroughly flush the lines until the system is purged of all foreign materials. See Strainer Maintenance for disassembly and reassembly instructions. 2. Plan a location for the strainer in the system providing for the following requirements: Make sure there is no pipe strain imposed upon the strainer or any other component part of the meter assembly.
Maintenance Reassembling a Strainers To reassemble a F/FA strainer 1. Replace the strainer basket (A) or (B) into the housing. To Reassemble an FS/FSAA/FSA Strainer 1. Strainer baskets have an extended collar, or lip on the bottom end of the basket (C). Insert this end into the strainer housing first. 2. Place the end cover o-ring (1) in the groove in the end cover (2). 2. Place the o-ring (1) in the groove on top of the strainer housing (2). 3.
