4.Valves - Avoid a system that will impose a sudden burst of flow to the meter. Such a burst will cause the float to impact the float stop with destructive force. Magnet, solenoid, or other quick opening valves cannot be used unless meter is protected against sudden bursts of flow.
5.The maximum working pressure should not exceed 150 psi at ambient temperature.
