3.2.1Use of appropriate safety engineered swivel hoist rings in meter end flanges

All Daniel Ultrasonic meters come equipped with a tapped hole located on the top of each meter body end flange. A flat machined surface surrounds each tapped hole (See Figure 3-1). This feature provides complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and an OSHA compliant Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Ring as shown below (see Figure 3-2).

Operators SHALL NOT use Eye Bolts (see Figure 3-2) in the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter flange tapped holes to aid in lifting or maneuvering the unit.

Operators SHALL NOT use other Hoist Rings that do not fully seat flush with the counter bore on the top of the meter flanges.
