RATE OF FLOW INSTALLATION
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
REMOTE MOUNT INSTALLATION
A straight length of pipe five pipe diameters long helps take out turbulence and will improve
valve performance. See Figure 1. Excessive turbulence caused by fittings, pipe size changes,
flow meters, and/or pumps immediately upstream of the valve can have a negative impact
on valve performance or even damage the flow-sensing paddle.
Do not mount the pilot downstream of the valve.
For applications where the pilot will not fit upstream of the valve, an after-market, in-valve
model is available (6” and 8” valves only). Contact factory for details.
The rate-of-flow pilot is intended to be installed in steel pipe. If attempting to install in PVC
pipe, be cautious of saddles or fittings that will prevent the paddle from moving freely or be-
ing entirely inserted into the flow path. This may cause the valve to regulate at a flow rate
that is dierent than the indicated value on the pilot calibration stem.
The rate-of-flow pilot is not intended to replace a flowmeter; having a flowmeter nearby will
assist in setting the pilot.
Install continuous acting air vents upstream of the rate-of-flow valve to prevent air entrap-
ment and water hammer.

RATE OF FLOW INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. After selecting an installation location that meets the plumbing requirements, cut a hole
in the top of the steel pipe so that a 1” half coupler can be welded to it. The hole should be
1.25”-1.5” in diameter, with no burrs or obstructions.
2. Remote mounted rate-of-flow pilots include one or two 1” FNPT threaded half couplers, de-
pending on the model. High-flow models (D18-4 and D18-6) include just one coupler and can
skip this step. The two couplers included with low-flow models are to accomodate dierent
thickness of pipe. The short coupler (0.68” / 1.7 cm) is used with thick-walled pipe, and the tall
coupler (0.96” / 2.4 cm) is used with thin-walled pipe. To determine which coupler to use with
low-flow models:
a. Measure from of pipe to of pipe (dimension A, see Figure bottom of inside top of outside
2).
b. With shorter half coupler installed on the paddle assembly, measure distance from end
of paddle to bottom end of half coupler (dimension B, see Figure 3).
c. If the paddle length “B” is shorter than the pipe depth “A”, then use this shorter coupler.
Otherwise, use the taller coupler (you may wish to repeat step 2b with the taller coupler
to double check). If the paddle is too long it will not function correctly. Double check
your measurements and that you have the right model of rate-of-flow pilot.

3. Weld the coupler onto the pipe. Be sure to remove the coupler from the paddle assembly
before doing so. Discard the unused coupler. Wait for the weld to cool before proceeding.
4. Unthread the pilot body from the paddle assembly at point “C” as indicated in Figure 3. Take
care not to lose the rubber washer between the pilot body and paddle assembly.
5. Thread the paddle assembly into the coupler on the pipe. Be sure that the hole where the
pilot body attaches is pointed directly upstream. It is critical that the pilot body be parallel
with the pipline.
6. Reattach the pilot body to the paddle assembly.
7. Connect the control tubes to their respective ports on the valve. If you purchased the rate-
of-flow pilot as part of the valve configuration, these ports/tubes will be labeled “1” and “2”.
If you purchased the rate-of-flow pilot as a retrofit kit to install on an existing valve, refer to
the corresponding plumbing diagram for your application.
