(2) Pipe Orientation
The detector may be installed in horizontal, vertical or sloping pipe runs as shown in Figure
4.2. 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 4.3.

The electrodes should be positioned horizontally relative to the ground surface in any piping
installation. See Figure 4.4.
