MOUNTING
1. The 8598B may be mounted in any orientation without affect- ing accuracy. However, each 8598B comes with its flow indica- tor in a pre-determined location. For ease of reading flow, North American recommends selecting a meter based on your expect- ed mounting orientation. See “Ordering Information” on page 3. 2. The medium must flow through the instrument from inlet to outlet. The inlet fitting can be identified as the fitting where the float rests in a no flow condition. Additionally, the flow direction arrow on the meter body points from inlet to outlet.
3. The medium must not contain any solids or contaminants prone to precipitate out of solution and deposition on the instru- ment's inner walls. This would prevent proper operation of the device. Unclean media should be filtered upstream of the 8598B. North American offers a series 8555B basket strainer for such purposes. North American recommends a 20 mesh strainer for 40 SSU oil (See 8555B strainer bulletin).
