A. Location
For proper operation the Models GT1306 and GT1307 must be mounted
within 6 degrees of true vertical, with the inlet connection at the bottom and
the oulet at the top. The use of a level is recommended to asure vertical
positioning. Piping must be adequately supported to prevent undue strain
on the flowmeter.
B. Piping Arrangement
It is recommended that bypass piping be installed around the flowmeter so
it may be isolated from the process line for servicing and cleaning. Refer to
Figure 2-1 for a typical installation.

Figure 2-1 Typical Bypass Installation
Do not allow the float to fall out of the metering tube. A damaged
float will affect the accuracy of the meter. Be careful not to break the
tube by pulling on it at an extreme angle or applying excessive force.
Failure to drain the flowmeter when isolated in a bypass loop may
result in tube breakage caused by thermal expansion of the process
liquid.
