INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Palmer Bowlus flumes are designed for use in round pipes flowing partly full and at low velocities. Typical applications are in sewer lines and storm drains. The insert style is intended for use in existing manhole inverts. The flume size matches the pipe in diameter. Standard approach conditions call for uniform straight pipe extending 25 pipe diameters upstream of the flume. The flume's sill should be installed level in the invert.
The flume may need to be trimmed slightly to allow for imperfections in the channel. This can be accomplished with a rasp or grinder. Check the fit of the flume prior to mixing the grout. Excellent results have been obtained using auto body filler such as "Bondo" as grout. Epoxy resins also work well. The channel must be clean and dry to allow the grout to set properly. Clean up all excess grout with a scraper. Allow at least one-half pipe diameter upstream of the flume for taking flow measurements.
