Question by: Wade W on Dec 22, 2025, 1:07 PM
Will this meter hold up if it's constantly running in a hydraulic system?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 23, 2025, 5:05 PM
This flow meter, when properly installed and operated within its specified pressure and temperature ranges, can function as a continuous visual indicator of flow rate.
Question by: Debbie S on Mar 22, 2026, 7:47 PM
Is this flow meter okay to mount sideways, or does it need to be vertical?
Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 24, 2026, 11:17 AM
You can mount this flow meter in any position. The outer housing also rotates 360 degrees to make it easy to read no matter how it's installed.

got a 1/2 npt line on a hydraulic power unit, is this meter gonna thread right in and which way does the oil need to flow
Answer by: Customer Support on May 12, 2025, 6:01 PM
It uses 1/2-14 NPT ports so it matches standard 1/2 NPT hydraulic lines. Flow direction matters on the standard model since it measures in one direction only, and standard models do not tolerate reverse flow.
