King Instrument 7720 Operating Manual
7720 Series
Installation Instructions
FLOW METER LIMITED WARRANTY
Meters are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship to the original user for a period of
thirteen (13) months from the date of factory shipment, provided the meter is installed, operated and maintained in accordance with King Instrument Company’s instructions and recommendations.
This warranty does not apply if failure is caused or contributed to by any of the following: improper handling, improper storage, abuse, unsuitable application of the product, lack of reasonable and necessary
maintenance, use exceeding suggested pressure and temperature maximums, improper packaging for
return, or repairs made or attempted to be made by anyone other than King Instrument Company, Inc.
KING INSTRUMENT COMPANY, INC. MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE FITNESS OF ITS PRODUCTS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS.
This warranty is valid for the original end-user only and does not apply to products that have been damaged or modied. This warranty is non-transferrable and is limited to replacement or repair. The liability of
King Instrument Company arising out of its supply of the products, or their use, shall not in any case exceed
the cost of correcting defects in the products as set forth above.
THIS WARRANTY IS A LIMITED WARRANTY AND SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHICH EXIST BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION
OR FACE HEREOF.
IN NO EVENT SHALL KING INSTRUMENT COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
Products should be returned, prepaid, to King Instrument Company, Inc. with proof of purchase. Call factory
for Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and return instructions.
THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.
1) Inspect meter for damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Report any damage to the container to the freight carrier immediately.
2) Remove any shipping material placed in the inlet and outlet of the
meter. (This is done to prevent damage caused by movement of the
oat during shipping).
3) Make sure your pressure, temperature, uid and other requirements
are compatible with the meter and components (including o-rings).
4) Select a suitable location for installation to prevent excess stress on
the meter which may result from:
a) Misaligned pipe.
b) The weight of related plumbing.
c) “Water Hammer” which is most likely to occur when ow is
suddenly stopped as with quick closing solenoid operated
valves. (If necessary, a surge chamber should be installed. This
will also be useful in pressure start-up situations.)
d) Thermal expansion of liquid in a stagnated or valve isolated
system.
e) Instantaneous pressurization which will stress the meter and
could result in tube failure.
NOTE: In closed thermal transfer or cooling systems, install the meter
in the cool side of the line to minimize meter expansion and contraction and possible uid leaks at the threaded connections.
5) Handle the meter carefully during installation.
a) Use an appropriate amount of teon tape on external pipe
threads before making connections. Do not use paste or stick
type thread sealing products.
6) Install the meter vertically with the inlet port at the bottom. No
piping runs are required. Because the guide rod extends from the top
of the meter during operation, 4” of straight pipe must be provided at
the outlet of the meter.
7) Meters used in gas service should have suitable valves plumbed in
at the inlet and outlet of the meter. These valves should be no more
than 1-1/2 pipe diameters from the meter ports. The valve at the outlet should be used to create back pressure as required to prevent oat
bounce. It should be set initially and then left alone. The inlet valve
should be used for throttling purposes. Depending on the installation,
valves may not be essential, but they are most useful in many installations. Remember: To get a correct reading of ow in gas service, it is
necessary to know the pressure right at the outlet of the meter (before
the valve).
ADDITIONALLY:
• 7720 Series meters are designed for vertical installation only.
(Inletat bottom, Outlet at top)
• Do not remove or adjust the screws on the side of the indicator
housing. These screws were positioned during factory
calibration and represent the zero adjustment. If the pointer is set
on zero, proceed with installation. If the pointer is not set at zero,
follow these steps:
1) Remove front cover with gasket and shield from indicator
housing.
2) Loosen set screw at the base of the pointer hub.

3) Reposition pointer to zero line.
4) Tighten set screw with a 1/16” allen wrench by holding the pointer
hub and gently tightening the set screws.

CAUTION
• O-rings should be replaced if meter is disassembled after it has been
in service.
• Do not loosen nuts that fasten indicator housing to metering tube.
If the relationship of meter tube and indicator housing are changed,
meter must be calibrated.
• Serious property damage and great personal injury could occur as
the result of a meter misused or used in an unsuitable application.
CLEANING:
Carefully remove the owmeter from piping system. Remove the
threaded outlet end tting and withdraw the oat from the top. All
necessary instrument components are now fully accessible for cleaning
with a bottle brush and appropriate mild soap solution*. Before the
meter is reassembled, inspect all parts for damage. O-rings should be
replaced during meter maintenance and cleaning.
To reassemble, carefully guide the magnetic oat back into the tube.
Reinstall and tighten outlet end tting. Reinstall the instrument into
the plumbing system after removing the old teon tape (with a wire
brush) and replacing with fresh teon tape.
*Do not use cleaning agents that will damage oat, tube or o-rings.
Meters should be cleaned with a mild soap solution. This will be an
eective cleaner of rust stains. Caution must be used so that materials
of construction are not damaged by cleaning solutions. Hard water
deposits can be removed with 5% acetic acid solution (vinegar).
WARNING:
Pressure and temperature ratings are based on a study of the engineering data for particular materials used in construction and on the
design of individual models. This information is supplemented by
destructive test results. Meters with stainless enclosures must never be
operated without shields securely in place. Meters exposed to dicult
environments such as those created by certain chemicals, excessive
vibration or other stress inducing factors could fail at or below the
suggested maximums. Never operate meters above pressure and
temperature maximums. It is strongly recommended that all meter
installations utilize an appropriate pressure relief valve and/or rupture
disc. The pressure settings and locations of these devices should be
such that meters cannot be over pressurized. Meter failure could result
in damage to equipment and serious personal injury. Always use
suitable safety gear, including OSHA approved eye protection when
working around meters in service. We are happy to pass along chemical compatibility information that has been published by the manufacturer’s of raw materials used in our products; however, this information
should not be construed as a recommendation made by King Instrument Company, Inc. for a specic application.
