Installing the Flow-Clik Sensor Body

The Flow-Clik sensor body (FCT series) is designed in diameters from 1" to 3". It is installed into the mainline or lateral pipe of the irrigation system. It is important to install the Flow-Clik Sensor Body downstream of the master valve (for mainline installations) or the zone valve (for lateral line installations). Also, it is necessary to install the Sensor Body in an area of low turbulence within the system. Areas of high turbulence will cause erratic readings from the Flow-

The figure below represents a recommended sensor body installation. There must be at least 10 times the pipe diameter of straight pipe upstream of the Sensor Body inlet and at least 5 times the pipe diameter in length of straight pipe downstream of the Sensor Body outlet. This will assure that the Flow-Clik sensor be placed in the optimum position within the irrigation system.

NOTE: For maximum protection against overflow conditions, it is required that a master valve be installed.
