(2) Pipe Orientation
The detector may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs as shown in Figure 4.5. However, except for horizontal installation, fluid should flow from lower to upper directions. If no air bubble, vertical down flow application are acceptable under pressured piping conditions. See Figure 4.5.
