PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS JUST THE TEE, THE SENSOR IS NOT INCLUDED.
A ruptured pipe or broken sprinkler left undetected can result in substantial damage. Plants and ground cover can be flooded, slopes can be eroded, and hundreds of gallons of water can be wasted. Hunter created the Flow-Clik flow sensor to guard against these damages in the event of a rupture. The Flow-Clik can be programmed at a specified level of flow. It will shut down irrigation if it detects a flow rate higher than the programmed limit. Therefore, the amount of water loss and system damage is substantially reduced in the event of high external leakage.
The FCT tee fitting comes with a plug that allows for installation of the FCT into the irrigation system prior to installing the Sensor. This allows the FCT tee to be installed separately from the sensor and prevents damage to the sensor during installation of the body.To install the sensor into the body:
- Turn the system pressure off.
- Unscrew the cap from the top of the FCT (figure 1).
- Use pliers or a screwdriver and carefully pry the plug from the FCT tee.
- Insert the sensor into the FCT. The sensor has a flat side that engages with a flat on the inside of the sensor body (figure 2).
- Replace the cap on the sensor body. Hand tighten only. (figure 3).
- Feed the two sensor wires through the hole in the cover and snap the cover on the cap.
NOTE: Save this blank plug! You can use it to temporarily to replace the flow sensor during winterization blow out, to prevent damage to the sensor from high velocity air.
