Before re-lling or re-pressurizing your meter/strainer assembly, all seal gaskets and bolts must be in place
and fully tightened to prevent leakage of product out of the system. See Torque Chart below. Failure to follow
this procedure may result in a hazardous condition and possible serious injury or death.
!
Leakage that occurs after tightening the fasteners
indicates a damaged seal, or distortion to the surface
of the cover. In either case, the seals or cover must be
replaced. Excessive tightening will not stop the leakage.
Tightening Screws and Nuts
1. Replace the strainer basket (A) or (B) into the housing.
2. Place the end cover o-ring (1) in the groove in the end cover
